about

There is the story of a man who had a recurring dream of a lion. The lion was very fierce and would chase him until he collapsed from fatigue, upon which he would awake screaming. Unsure of what this dreamt meant and desperate to make it stop, the man decided to consult his pastor for some advice.

The kindhearted pastor readily offered several logical suggestions as to what the dream could mean. Was it the man’s boss? His wife? A hidden sin in his life? A big decision to be made?

But the man grew frustrated as they discussed the possibilities. As rational as they sounded, none of these answers could fully explain the intensity of the dream. Unable to provide any other counsel to the man, the pastor decided to pray with him and ask God for wisdom and understanding.

After praying, the pastor told the man, “The next time you dream of the lion, turn around and ask him who he is, what he wants, and what is he doing in your life.” Although disappointed that this was all the pastor could do for him, the man reluctantly agreed.

That night, the lion did appear in his dream once again. The man ran for his life as he usually did, but he recalled midway what his pastor had said. Too exhausted to fight his fears, he turned around and faced the lion, asking, “Who are you?”

“Why are you running from me?” The lion replied.

“I am your courage.”

lyrics

Don't sketch for me the perfect lines
I've gone too far behind the blinds
Be sold on her impending tears
She told of things she wish she didn't have

Despite the years we faced I'm coming home
Can we protest your decision to fix my bones?

Pretend you never loved before
She tends to all the household chores
I'm sold on her impending tears
She told of love she wished she never had

Despite the years we faced I'm coming home
Can I protest your decision to fix my bones?

Don't run
I'm counting down to your revival
Now son,
Your downfall was intended

Turn around and calm the seas
Face it all enjoy your plea
Got my back turned to formality
The lion's coming, the lion's coming

Despite the years we faced I'm coming home
Can I protest your decision to fix my bones?

I'm longing for the gun
I'm longing to see the one
Like the space in between the trees
So listen, reach out for me

Don't run
I'm counting down to your revival
Now son,
Your downfall was intended

Don't run
I'm counting down to your revival
Now son,
I am your courage
