When I was young, the smallest trick of light,
Could catch my eye,
Then life was new and every new day,
I thought that I could fly
I believed in what I hoped for,
And I hoped for things unseen,
I had wings and dreams could soar,
I just don't feel like flying anymore
When the stars threw down their spears,
Watered Heaven with their tears,
Before words were spoken,
Before eternity
Dear Father, I need you,
Your strength my heart to mend
I want to fly higher,
Every new day again
When I was small, the furthest I could reach,
Was not so high,
Then I thought the world was so much smaller,
Feeling that I could fly
Through distant deeps and skies,
Behind infinity,
Below the face of Heaven,
He stoops to create me
Dear Father, I need you,
Your strength my heart to mend
I want to fly higher,
Every new day again
Man versus himself
Man versus machine
Man versus the world
Mankind versus me
The struggles go on,
The wisdom I lack,
The burdens keep pilling
Up on my back
So hard to breathe,
To take the next step
The mountain is high,
I wait in the depths
Yearning for grace,
And hoping for peace
Dear God
Increase
Healing hands of God have mercy on our unclean souls once again
Jesus Christ, light of the world burning bright within our hearts
forever
Freedom means love without condition, without a beginning or an end
Here's my heart, let it be forever Your's,
Only You can make every new day seem so new
