Land of Broken Dreams

Notes from Joel:

"In the world you will have tribulation. But be of good cheer! I have overcome the world." John 16:33b.

All of us will experience tough times in our lives. Some even desperate times. Of all the moments we live, the trials point us to God like none other. He is faithful to rescue us from our distress, no matter what the situation.

Credits: Joel Weldon - Lead vocal, guitars; Craig Bidondo - Keyboards

First released on Pure Adventure. Recorded in April of 1989 at Coyote Run Studios, just east of Spokane, Washington.

Land of Broken Dreams

Like a battered ship on an angry sea
My life was going down
My cries for help, they were swallowed in
The tempest all around

I searched for loves that would fulfill
But my search was all in vain
When I thought I'd found everlasting love
The emptiness remained

chorus
I tried to find the answers here
But things weren't what they seemed
So please won't someone rescue me
From the land of broken dreams

I felt the pressures of life surround me
Sometimes they turned into pain
The mistakes I made never taught me the first time
'Cause I'll do them over and over again

Promises broken including my own
Kept me searching for something that's true
Then Jesus you gave me a hope I could stand on
Someone to give my life to

chorus

Then Lord you came and rescued me
From the land of broken dreams
