Inspired by the spirituality of Martin Luther King Junior and written for the International Federation meeting of L'Arche in Atlanta 2012.

lyrics

Our God of hope - help us to dream
Beyond the shores - of where we’ve been
Our God of light - of brave new life
Our living stream - help us to dream

With the rich and the refugee (carry the dream)
With the lost on an angry sea (carry the dream)
With the prisoner in front of me
Carry the dream
With the brave on the freedom march (carry the dream)
With the tired and cold of heart (carry the dream)
With the poet who strikes the spark
Carry the dream
With the prophets who shake the door (carry the dream)
Who speak of love as the higher law (carry the dream)
With every pilgrim who came before
Carry the dream

Our God of flight - free us to fly
Beyond the fear - that chain’s so tight
Our God of spring - sweet earth’s release
Help us to dream - our God of peace

refrain

Our God of hope - help us to dream
Beyond the shores - of where we’ve been
Our God of light - of brave new life
Our living stream - help us to dream
