One:
It does not need to come to pass
that hope dies
and the light of humanity  
is extinguished from fear of each other

Two:
This will come to pass
I will pour out my spirit on all flesh
and your sons and daughters shall prophecy


One:
It does not need to come to pass
that war goes on
that the only vision we have
is one where those with the power win

Two:
This will come to pass
your old men shall dream dreams,
and your young men shall see visions.


One:
It does not need to come to pass
that the darkness grows deeper
and fear limits our dreams
and folds away faith

Two:
This will come to pass
I’ll even pour out my Spirit on slaves,
men and women both.


One:
It does not need to come to pass
that the faith of people
is crushed by the reality of the world
and will never change a thing

Two:
This will come to pass
I’ll set wonders in the sky above
and signs on the earth below:


One:
It does not need to come to pass
that children will be limited
by the dreams of their parents
who have been limited by the fear of the world

Two:
This will come to pass
every generation will prophesy.
and dream dreams,
and see visions.


One:

It does not need to come to pass
that the story of incarnation
told in mangers and stables
becomes a broken promise

Two:
This will come to pass
I will pour out my spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your old men shall dream dreams,
your young men shall see visions.
Even on the male and female slaves,
in those days, I will pour out my spirit.
