In my dreams
I know Your Name in life. I’ll be speaking it in my dreams. - Recon
For those of you who care….There is an on-again, off-again Christian heavy metal band that I think is one of the premier music makers in the genre called Deliverance. They have had revolving membership but their music has been consistently to my liking so I do not care about that as much. Anyway, there was a guitarist who was a member of the group, George Ochoa, that was largely credited with putting together what is considered the greatest Christian heavy metal album of all time (Weapons of Warfare). He ended his relationship with Deliverance before they got all prog-rock on us (believe me it was a very welcome change) and began a band called Recon. They sang a song called “In my Dreams” and it effected me in a profound way.
What do I dream about? What has sunk deeply enough into my life to leech out in my dreams? When confronted with problems when all of the social pressures are off, what do I turn to for solutions? In the deep dark lonely places where I run, fly, and crawl as I sleep who is my constant companion? Do I know His Name so deeply in my life; is my relationship with Him so penetrating that I speak of Him in my dreams? Has the Spirit arrested my dreams? Or are they largely the playground of my flesh, the world, and the Devil himself?
Let Your Word wash over me Lord and saturate my mind! Let my hair be wet with the sweet sweat of work done wholly for You. I know your Name in life; please Lord, let me speak it in my dreams.
