‘SO HIGH”
His eye’s on the sparrow
A wondrous friend is he
Where God leads my steps
Is where I will long to be
He has granted my wish
And let my spirit soar
To fly above the mountains
Beyond the eastern shore
I never felt so happy
And my soul feels at ease
As I lift my silken wings
Against the gentle breeze
I learned so long ago
To cast my cares aside
Discovering that true love
Always comes from deep inside
The birds in the trees
Sing the happiest of songs
And just like the sparrow
In the sky is where I belong
In the place called heaven
Streets are paved with gold
But here on this earth
I have my family to hold
No words can truly describe
The joy my family brings
They’re my constant inspiration
And the wind beneath my wings
I can hear my spirit sing
Each time I kiss the sky
With the love of my family
My heart will lift so high
