Never Did I Dream Before

AUTHOR: Ned Nossaman ARRANGED BY: Craig T. Riesen

Never did I dream before such a place could 'ere be found

Where the tears of sorrow cease, songs of endless joy abound.

One who seldom ever sang, now delights his voice to raise

Singing hymn with all the saints echoing the ceaseless praise.

Day by day the world goes on just as it has gone before;

Millions grasp and clutch at life wondering if there could be more.

Such was I and would be yet. Mercy found me out somehow.

With what gratefulness I say: I'm in God's own family now.

How delightful 'tis to know. How subjective, real and sweet

Is this inward joy and grace we experience when we meet.

Life abundant Jesus gives as my full reality.

Praise You, Lord, it's really true: I'm in your own family.

At the closing of this age just before Your kingdom's dawn.

May you gain a people, Lord, for your dwelling place, Your home.

Since for me You gave You're all everything I lay aside;

For Your church my all I'd give that You would be satisfied.
