I laid the dream down at His feet

I counted all my hopes as lost

I felt the anquish of defeat

The devastation of the cost

The pain was real-,I’ll not deny

The wound was deep as pain can run

But healing was His swift reply

The day I cried "Thy will be Done!"

I laid the dream down at His feet

I saw the plan God had in its place

He gave it back to me complete

For in the sacrifice there'd grace

To gain our life we lose it

To own it it's laid down

For God can only use it

When we give to Him our crown.

Now God is calling all His own

To finally be made complete

For blessing beyond what man's known

For all our hopes shall Jesus meet

When we lay our dreams down at his feet
