| When I was young, the smallest trick of light,
|
| Could catch my eye,
|
| Then life was new and every new day,
|
| I thought that I could fly.
|
| I believed in what I hoped for,
|
| And I hoped for things unseen,
|
| I had wings and dreams could soar,
|
| I just don’t feel like flying anymore.
|
| When the stars threw down their spears,
|
| Watered Heaven with their tears,
|
| Before words were spoken,
|
| Before eternity.
|
| Dear Father, I need you,
|
| Your strength my heart to mend.
|
| I want to fly higher,
|
| Every new day again.
|
| When I was small, the furthest I could reach,
|
| Was not so high,
|
| Then I thought the world was so much smaller,
|
| Feeling that I could fly.
|
| Through distant deeps and skies,
|
| Behind infinity,
|
| Below the face of Heaven,
|
| He stoops to create me.
|
| Dear Father, I need you,
|
| Your strength my heart to mend.
|
| I want to fly higher,
|
| Every new day again.
|
| Man versus himself.
|
| Man versus machine.
|
| Man versus the world.
|
| Mankind versus me.
|
| The struggles go on,
|
| The wisdom I lack,
|
| The burdens keep pilling
|
| Up on my back.
|
| So hard to breathe,
|
| To take the next step.
|
| The mountain is high,
|
| I wait in the depths.
|
| Yearning for grace,
|
| And hoping for peace.
|
| Dear God…
|
| Increase.
|
| Healing hands of God have mercy on our unclean souls once again.
|
| Jesus Christ, light of the world burning bright within our hearts
|
| Forever.
|
| Freedom means love without condition, without a beginning or an end.
|
| Here’s my heart, let it be forever Your’s,
|
| Only You can make every new day seem so new. |
