A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes by Dave Brubaker from Newsong Church

My daughter Lily sings her prayers.

It started in kindergarten, she sang “A Dream is a Wish” for her school talent show.  That night at bedtime we talked about how that song is like a prayer.  So for prayers that night, she sang it again:

“A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're fast asleep
In dreams you will lose your heartache
Whatever you wish for you keep
Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smiling through
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
The dream that you wish will come true.”

If that doesn't sound theologically correct, check out Proverbs 13:12 (The Voice version):

"Hope postponed grieves the heart;
    but when a dream comes true, life is full and sweet.”

So often we quote the first part of that verse (“Hope deferred makes the heart sick”) but forget all about the happy ending!!
