Because He Needed Me

Last night I had the sweetest dream
Of someone kind and dear
He never said a word to me
And yet He spoke so clear

We gathered in His living room
The place we used to meet
To catch up on the daily news
And have a bite to eat

I said to Him, “Friend, welcome back”
“It’s been a little while”
He simply looked right back at me
And He began to smile

I woke up from my dream just then
Though strange as it may seem
I knew that He was really there
A vision in a dream

It felt so good to have Him back
To be with me once more
He must have known I needed Him
Like every time before

And though He didn’t stay for long
He spoke with clarity
In words, I didn't hear Him speak
He spoke his love for me

He told me that the price of sin
Is covered by the cost
Because He paid the price for me
Whenever I was lost

And though He died so long ago
Before I came to be
He rescued me when I was down
Because He needed me.
