First dream

I decided that I wanted to be in a talent contest at my old church. I guess I felt the pressure from peers to do it because normally I would have said no. I am extremely afraid of being on stage. For whatever reason though I actually agreed to be in this talent show on the day of the talent show. This, of course, gave me no time to practice. I decided to sing a song from the hymnal. While everyone else was taking their turn on the stage I was looking through a hymnal for the song that I wanted to sing. I knew the song pretty well but I wasn't sure of some of the lyrics. The contents page of the hymnal gave the page number for the song. I turned to that page and found that it was missing. I started to panic so I ran into one of the classrooms and found a hymnal. I looked in this one and it also didn't have the song I was looking for. I decided to just choose another song, but I couldn't find it either. I was really worried now because it was almost my turn. I must have gone through ten hymnals and still couldn't find any of the songs I wanted. I couldn't even find any songs that I knew. When I came back to the stage it was my turn. The elders of the church were in a group discussing what to do because I hadn't been there when they called my name. I told them that I just won't be able to perform because none of the hymnals had the song I needed. Then one of the older ladies who had heard me said, "The lyrics are on the back of the program paper."
