LYRICS
In the ancient land Chaldea
In the mind of a troubled king
Came a dream of power and meaning
Yet the dreamer forgot everything
​
But Another who dreams of our future
Will never forget what He sees
So let’s believe this Dreamer, please
​
The forgetter was Nebuchadnezzar
Who called his magicians in
But they couldn’t see much there
And they trembled with fear and chagrin
​
Oh, children, remember the Spirit
Who knows every dream we’ve dreamed
Who tells us we are highly esteemed
​
Chorus:
The King dreams, He sees the future
Our deliverance at last
The King dreams, when every dreamer fails
The King of dreams holds us fast
​
It’s His faith, the faith of Jesus
That inspires us to believe
In our brokenness
He sees us
As what we at last will be
The King dreams!
​
The astrologers asked for the dream first
The king knew they bargained for time
They said only the gods could interpret
That’s when the king lost his mind
​
And the King of all kings saw the drama
And heard the cruel death decree
And He knows how to save you and me
​
When Daniel heard of the sentence
To the God of heaven he pled
Then his God revealed the mystery
And he went to the king and said
​
And the King of the Cosmos painted
A dream in the hours of night
And shed in the mind of the prophet, light!
​
He believes in us, so we believe in Him
We have a future beyond this old world
Now tearing at the seams
Because the King dreams!
