God gives us wings to soar the skies—
our souls He has set free.
He fills our hearts with peace and joy
and grants us eyes to see . . .
To see a world through loving eyes—
the eyes of our good Lord.
He leads us to untroubled grounds—
grounds we've not explored.
He gives us ears to hear His voice
while showing us His Way.
He reaches out and calls our names
with every passing day.
He patiently awaits for us
to seek His precious face
and nestle in His mighty arms
filled with love and grace.
