Dream
I am going to tell you a Dream
That will make you laugh and cry
But make sure God gets the glory
It was all a dream,
I used to be at home in my bed
Now I am finishing the race
Where did the time go?
The dreams start with a taste
A taste of reality
Would we stay in the comforts of home?
Or would we go out and share the truth during a pandemic
We all answered that question with a yes, send me I will Go!
Send me, I Go, Send me, I Go
Awake Awake Awake time has passed
Guatemala has arrived
A Welcome Party from our host
Eating together as a family with our green sauce on the side
Making memories that will last for a lifetime
They say that a family that prays together, stays together
Unified together as one, as one of us gets Covid
Allows us to share our testimony and pray together
EK for life baby
Awake Awake Awake
Dominican Republic has arrived
Where did the time Go?
Where is my team EK?
No more, no more
Welcome team Girls on Fire
Knocking the doors down with Beautify for Ashes events
Playing the monkey song over and over until we get monkey brains
Eating like a Daniel in the presence of the king but we want more
Sharing the gospel on long prayer walks and wishing for more time
Where did the time go? Where did the time go?
Mestia, Mestia, Play uno with the Kids, Johny still waiting, still waiting will we take a ride from him?
Wow Girls on fire are alive and well!
Awake Awake Awake
Kyrgyzstan has arrived
Where did the time go?
Where is my team Girls on Fire?
No more, No more, No more
Welcome to team Fillup
Who would have known a Yurt can be turned into a house of prayer
Or that it is a possibility to get naked before the Lord
Hearing the Lord say do you trust me in the middle of the wilderness.
Refusing to run away from a teammate who has Covid
Staying in isolation as quarantine queens who will never be forgotten
Experiencing Covid was horrible but at least I did not have to do it alone.
Team Fillup was there to hold it all together, I will not miss mooning Mondays
Where did the time go?
Awake Awake awake
Now the dream has come alive
No more Dreaming it’s a reality
Saying Goodbye is one of the hardest things I will have to do.
Goodbye to the reality of living with 20 plus people day to day
Goodbye to the endless amount of feedback
Goodbye to I Squad.
Good thing we are only saying see you later.
Because we know the end of the story
My encouragement that leave you with, I Squad,
Since you know the end of the story
Don’t be afraid to tell everyone you know.
God will come back
There is a Heaven and Hell
Jesus came to die for our sins
We need to repent and turn to him
Keep sharing the truth because it will set the captive free
You are loved and will always be remembered in my heart.
