I know that the words to this song may seem a bit "far out" but they very much describe what I feel about accomplishing life with and by the Lord's strength. After hearing this song I am reminded of the verse, "The joy of the Lord is my strength." Just think. When we are finding our complete and total satisfaction in Christ alone, our spirit is joyful. We feel as if we could fly! Because of the very fact that "His strength is perfect in our weakness" makes the fact that if we let Him, our weakness can be made perfect by His strength! I relate this to the idea of flying because I can, as a daughter of the Most High, accomplish great and might things despite the odds. Who would ever try to fly by their own power? Only a fool. But no, how many times do we take life and it's circumstances into our own hands and think we have it together to soar through this sky of life. I am guilty on more than a few occassions and I'm sure you could say the same. Who wants to keep crashing to the ground when there are new sights to be seen and a pilot that is more than willing to direct the course! Ah, yes. I know. All this easier said than done. I am here to say, that we CAN soar on the wind, but only...under the shadow of the Almighty (Ps 91). Fly free my dear ones. I fly free too because of the strength to overcome by the joy of finding all that I am in Christ, and in Him alone.
I'm standing on the edge
with my arms wide open
Waiting for the wind to blow
thinking I can make it on my own
I'm taking my first step
and I'm crashing to the ground
realizing thatI will never grow wings
I'll never make it on my own!
You want me to fly
but You are the only one with wings
You are the breath that moves the wind
You are the source of all these things
Even when I fall
You still want me to try
I can soar on the wind
if you lend me your wings
I can fly-
I'm standing on the edge
with my arms wide open
Afraid that if the wind blows
again I'll fall
I don't dare take a step
The chance to fal land get hurt again
Maybe I can't make it after all!
I'm standing on the edge
with my arms wide open
waiting for the wind to blow
It's the last time that I am trying
You're standing by my side
with Your arms wide open
I'm realizing that I can hold onto you
We can make it after all!
You are the breath that moves the wind
You are the source of all these things
I can soar on the wind
I can fly!
