Wings

by Christie Cook

I don't always feel God's presence. But when I do I feel such a complete inner peace and joy. So much that I feel like I have wings instead of feet.

Lyrics

Leaping into existence, the earth was waking up
The horizon was hiding a flaming sun
Clouds tinged with copper adorned the deep blue sky
Songbirds sang louder as the sun began to climb
I felt all wrapped up in the splendor of God
And at the heart of that splendor I found love

Chorus
So I danced, then I sang, my hands lifting up in praise,
I turned round and round and round and round again,
Beams of light surrounded me,
I was floating in his peace,
For a moment I had wings instead of feet

Like the light of the sun by morning
And the light of the moon by night
His Word burns brightly in the forefront of my mind
How great the wonder, How sweet the reward
When I surrender and dance with the Lord
I feel all wrapped up in the splendor of God
And at the heart of that splendor I find love

Bridge
Praise Him all Nations let your voices Be heard
Soaring to heaven from earth
Timbrel and Trumpet, Song and Dance
These stones shall not cry out, as long as I still can

If I take these wings of morning to the uttermost parts of the sea
Even there His right hand will find and guide me
Born of His Spirit, nothing can come between
My love for the Lord and His love for me
I feel all wrapped up in the Splendor of God
And at the heart of that Splendor I find love
