Have you dreamt of God?

Have you ever dreamt of God kissing you?

I have, I have, I have

I have dreamt again and over

Of the warmth still on my cheek

I have dreamt as well and also

Of the freckle underneath His bottom lip

Have you ever dreamt of God walking?

I have, I have, I have

I have dreamt once and now

Of His cadence, His stature

I have dreamt again, again

Of his right big toe, keeping in balance the weight of His being

Have you ever dreamt of God hearing?

I have, I have, I have

I have dreamt time and time

Of Him nodding while I speak

I have dreamt times two

Of the curve of His ear lobe

Have you ever dreamt of God dying?

I have, I have, I have

I have dreamt on darker nights

Of nails and crowns and whips and crosses

I have dreamt in all despair

Of shaking earth and final breaths, forsaken cries and pierced sides

Have you ever dreamt of God rising?

I have, I have, I have

I have dreamt and dreamt and dreamt

Of empty tombs and still holey hands

I have dreamt and dreamt and dreamt

Of His risen face shining on mine like the light of resurrection

I have dreamt and dream

Time and time again

Of every terrible and ugly thing within me

All the jealousy and judgment

All the selfishness and fear

All the loneliness and self-preservation

All the dissatisfaction and apathy

All the hatred and misunderstanding

I have dreamt and dream

Time and time again of it all

Being nailed to that same rugged cross of His

I have dreamt and dream

Time and time again

Of myself rising

Rising

And rising still
