Description
From Chapter 9, “Anticipation,” of It’s Impossible by J H McIntosh — Act I: Love Awakens.
The author of It's Impossible, hesitated to produce this song even though it's a natural out growth of the "Imagining" that led to this chapter. When the line: “Even dogs eat, crumbs that fall,” came to him, he knew had to. It's one of his personal favorites now. It offers a gentle reminder of quiet faith and patient hope, held tenderly in moments when love feels unseen. It's breath-like harmonies create an intimate space where vulnerability is honored, and the resilience of waiting without demand is cherished. This song invites us to rest in the delicate balance between longing and trust, encouraging a heartfelt surrender.
Lyrics
You came to me again last night,
Bathed in gold and candlelight.
Silver gleamed, the shadows swayed,
And your eyes looked far away.
Though I was there too, you did not see,
Half in the dark where dreams still reach me.
A golden retriever by your side,
Waiting for grace so long denied.
Funny thing about our dreams …
How sleep speaks truths unseen,
While daylight unravels, night redeems.
Head of the table, you’re dressed in grace and green,
That same quiet grace that lights every scene.
The shadows remind me…your love…must wait,
Still praying mercy won’t arrive too late.
Even dogs eat, crumbs that fall,
They don’t wait for Master’s call.
I don’t beg, I don’t howl, I silently believe,
Even dogs eat, when they quietly breathe.
There’s faith in the hunger, and hope in my ache,
I kneel and pray knowing my heart’s at stake.
You don’t see me, but I still believe,
That worship is love, that can never leave.
Even dogs eat, crumbs that fall,
They don’t wait for Master’s call.
I don’t beg, I don’t howl, I silently believe,
Even dogs eat, when they quietly breathe.
I pray one day you’ll lift your eyes,
And see in whom your true love lies.
They may say I’m wasting time,
But I believe it’s His design.
Even dogs eat, under heaven’s light,
Faith’s not blind, it’s patient sight.
I don’t bark, I don’t beg, I just stay complete,
In the love that waits…
’Cause even dogs eat.
Could it be the dream’s about hunger?
Or is it about this love’s wonder?
Maybe what my dreams have meant,
Dogs eat ‘cause, they don’t relent.
Even dogs eat …
And I know my love’s complete
