The Dream is Maurette's very first live concert recording and it truly captures the essence of her heart for God.

This singer/songwriter/producer/ musician/wife and mom knows that with God, nothing is impossible and her life and music are a testimony to that fact.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I Look to Jesus to set me free
I look to hills
from which cometh my help
Cause when i got Jesus
I don't need nobody else, I look to Jesus
when I think of the goodness Jesus
and all He's done for me
My Soul, my soul cries out
Thank God for saving me, I look to Jesus
I look to Jesus...
I'm Looking...
