Dream Small

Happy first Tuesday in June! May came and went all too quickly.

I was listening on the radio to a new song by Josh Wilson called “Dream Small.” My first reaction was What? Dream small? Then I listened carefully to the words. It’s a beautiful message!

Verse 1

It’s a momma singing songs about the Lord

It’s a daddy spending family time that the world said he cannot afford

These simple moments change the world

It’s a pastor at a tiny little Church

Forty years of loving for the broken and the hurt

These simple moments change the world.

Chorus:

Dream small

Don’t bother like you’ve gotta do it all

Just let Jesus use you where you are

One day at a time

Live well

Loving God and others as yourself

Find little ways where only you can help

With His great love

A tiny rock can make a giant fall

Dream small.

Verse 2

It’s visiting the widow down the street

Or dancing on a Friday with your friend with special needs

These simple moments change the world

Of course, there’s nothing wrong with bigger dreams

Just don’t miss the minutes on your way, your bigger things

‘Cause these simple moments change the world.

Keep loving, keep serving

Keep listening, keep learning

Keep praying, keep hoping

Keep seeking, keep searching

Out of these small things and watch them grow bigger

The God who does all things makes oceans…from rivers.

For me, this is my take away:

These simple moments change the world

Of course, there’s nothing wrong with bigger dreams

Just don’t miss the minutes on your way, your bigger things

‘Cause these simple moments change the world.
