Once in awhile Josh and I attend another church down the street from us.  I attend alone this morning, while Josh was at a prayer meeting with one of our elders at our house church.  The guy speaking today talked about that the big thing about American Freedom is dreaming, our ability to dream.  He continued on about how that relates to America, but all I could think about was "my dream."

What is my dream?  I started to think about orphan care, the nations, etc. Then some songs from Shaun Grove's CD Third World Symphony came to mind. The first was from Come by Here:

The orphans shout for a loving father  
And the whores reach out for a faithful lover  
We’re all singing now  
God, will you come by here? 

The widows need life to raise the dead and  
All the beggars plead for their daily bread 
Oh, we’re all singing please 

God, will you come by here? 
Come, we have nothing else God  
And having You we want for nothing 

Then, to wrap up the heart of "my dream"  I thought of his chorus to Kingdom Come:

‘Til the sword is spared  
And the bread is shared  
‘Til the dying’s done  
Let your kingdom come  
‘Til the rich ones give  
And the poor ones live  
‘Til the weak are strong  
Let your kingdom come 

Oh, God, what do we pray down here?  
Your kingdom coming
 
Let it come to us  
Let it come through us 

If you have not downloaded Third World Symphony, GO DO IT!  It's the best music that I've heard in a long time.  The words are so rich.  Here are Shaun's words about how and why he wrote this album.

"It's good music but it hasn't been where we've been!"
Makes me think, "Where has my faith been?"

Anyways, those are my thoughts this morning!
