I MUST BE DREAMING He stood there, looking at me with sad eyes and it took me a minute or two just to realize that this was Jesus, who answers all prayer, come to take me away from all earthly care. I heard His voice tremble as He held out his hand, "Things sometimes happen you won't understand. but you must have faith and truly believe in me, for I can heal your wounds and set your soul free." I seemed to be floating above the scene below, two cars collided, how I survived I don't know. Silvery light shone down from a crescent moon, He said "It's not your time, it's much too soon." I was filled with a peace, a strange sort of calm. I wanted to stay there, for the music had charm. Angels were singing, yet in the distance I heard a bird singing a beautiful hymn of His Word. I awoke with a start as dawn started to break, what I'd seen in Heaven I just couldn't shake! I must be dreaming, no other way to explain; a vision or warning, it was all way too plain. I felt at peace with the world, I felt Him so near and I said "Thank you, Lord, at last it is clear that you are always with me, my soul to keep, I'm thankful for the dreams I see in my sleep.
