Wings of Prayer

Lift me up above the clouds
where Thy sunlight I can see.
Let me rise above my doubts,
for a clearer view of Thee.

Lift me up above the clouds,
though it cannot be for long;
for I know on earth below,
others truly need my song.

Lift me up above the clouds,
I'm so weary of earth's gloom;
I feel cramped and oft distressed,
let me be where there is room.

Lift me up above the clouds,
let me view the heavenly dome
of Your universe so vast--
somewhere out there is my home.

Lift me up above the clouds

for a breath of heavenly air

far above earth's dust and fog,

take me up on wings of prayer.
