flying is not about wings...

For some reason this song really touched me today. I feel confident in saying that this has got to be one of the best songs I've heard in a while. It's a simple song with simple lyrics...but wow!! At present, "Not About Wings" is the very last song on my playlist (at the bottom of my blog page). Click to choose to play this song, and follow along the lyrics I've copied below. I get goosebumps - don't you!?!? It's amazing to think of all the different meanings this song can have for you and/or your family. What you've been through, decisions you've made, your personal weaknesses, your shortcomings, your imperfections, just where God has taken you on this journey called LIFE. Please listen and think about what it means to you...

Not About Wings - Downhere

Wake dove, stretch your feathers,

Worry not love, how far you could fall.

Fly now, darling find how;

A broken wing can be the best to soar on.

It's not the perch you've climbed to reach,
But the broken wing that's made you meek;
that's when He lifts you high.

Chorus:
Believing is not about seeing,
Faith is not about reaching,
and on this journey I keep learning,
Flying is not
Flying is not
Flying is not about wings.

Sparrow trapped by a window,
every resource spent for just one goal.

It's not by work you find your escape,
but in your defeat when you seek his face;
that's when He lifts you high.
