Wings

10/13/12

 

I can't claim to know

What the Lord has in mind

Bringing us together.

I know He's everything in line.

And what I cannot see,

He sees for me,

And carries me through.

 

There's so much I want to be,

Both for Him and for a love:

To show the world His love

In everything we touch.

I want to let Him

Take me to a place

Of strength and grace with you.

 

And of all the ways

I could think to convey

All I'm feeling, dreaming, believing,

Hoping, praying...

 

I know He knows my heart,

And if He could let us more than start

I say, I say I'm promising

 

To hold you,

Uphold you and embolden you,

And to wear you like a wing.

 

Do you know what I mean now, Baby?

 

I feel such joy and light

As we look up in the dead of night

And recognize

His glory in one another.

 

Do you know how long I've strived

Looking to do more than just survive,

Just getting by trying to find

The soul by which I'm bound but freed?

 

Another being

Who sees my meaning,

Who'd be moved and willing

-Please-

To wear me like a wing?

 

Not like a weight;

More than a whisper!

Lord, if I only could,

You KNOW just what I'd give her!

 

And of all she gives to me,

So that others see her on me,

In a way that reflects the Light of Your Love...

 

Oh woah woah ooh ooh ooh woah woah!

 

We can't help but need to touch.

We can't help but need to need.

But in doing so, we also believe...

 

I will sing for eternity

Of the gifts You've given me!

So much You've offered me,

Is this too an offering?

 

An opportunity -

An open door, oh Lord,

Lord, let the light be green

 

To wear each other's love

 

Love, love, love, love, love, love, love

 

As You would have it be -

 

Like wings, like wings

Like

Wings,

Like wings,

Like

Wings!

I have long believed that faith is gift ... a gift cherished with humility by those who understand the value of what they possess. And that is so evident here. Anyone who thinks it is easy to write like this hasn't tried. It is open and honest, filled with hope and small prayers and it is impossible to read aloud without being captured by its rhythm and grace. And hard not to imagine this sweetness being sung on a sleepy Sunday morn, hand in hand with those you love.

Music and lyrics are the heart and soul of my writing, so I read something that immediately brings a song to mind it holds a special importance to me .... so .... let me share ...

And I pray for a world where we all can be free
It's a heavenly vision, it's a garden that I see
It's a joy that graced the heart of loving me

Beautiful work ... and remember at this cafe ... open mike night is 24/7!

:'-) I dunno why I am crying, but I am. To be so understood by people who want nothing more than to appreciate... Just very moved. Xo.

To be overwhelmed with joy and love and fear of the unknown or fear of what you might not be able to give is tormentingly beautiful. When we feel the enormity of love, we are scared of what is yet to happen yet intoxicated by the feel of it. All of it. And then we become fragile. We become0too scared to be imperfect. And as much as it can be beautiful, it can become a burden. Because we are naturally scared of the extreme. Extreme love, extreme happiness or extreme pain. These feelings are too powerful for a human being and dangerous at the same time that is why we are afraid. That is why we look for a higher power for strength. For grace. For He alone can bestow it on us.

I can feel the emotion on each line, Mel. And I understand. I may be too young to say all these but trust me, I know. This is a wondeful piece.

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]

would love to her you sing this on Mel.........absolutely beautiful

[Melobldnfr]

Thank you, Neva. As of yet, I only sing it in my head, in someone else's voice. Lol. Xo.

A beautiful thought i imaghine that the lord wants you to be true to yourself here.As i always say I dont need help in heaven i need help here.So I dont ask a dentist to fix my car and i will leave the lord to runb his shop till i am there to be a part of it In the meantime ill worry about my life and those in it and do what i can to make theirs and my existance a beautiful one

[Melobldnfr]

So well put, I could not agree more! Xo.

What a wonderful song to the Almighty! I can almost hum the melody! Wonderful! who can ever dispute your love for your personal lord and savior?!

[Melobldnfr]

Thank you so so much! I do play guitar and sing, but this...this I hear in my head in the style of Gospel/R&B that I don't know I could ever do justice. But I feel God hears it and knows. Xo. As for my relationship with God, my parents (and maybe others) doubt it. But they do not understand it is not theirs to doubt, and that they should worry about their own relationships. Xo.

[TTBoy28]

Amen and Hallelujah!
