Wings

Wings

If butterfly would lend me wings,

I would come fluttering,

With all my broken dreams,

To find solace in Your open arms.


There I’d find the perfect peace,

The sureness of Your presence,

The warmth of Your love,

And the comfort of Your embrace.


Everything in me, Lord Jesus,

Draws me to Your being.

With You, I’m sure, my little heart

Won’t be again bleeding.


Jesus, I still don’t get why

You died for me.

But by Your precious blood

I now can come.


I don’t need wings to bring me there

I have free access

To Your throne of grace.

Thank you, Jesus, for bringing me near.


And so, dear brothers and sisters, we can boldly enter heaven’s Most Holy Place because of the blood of Jesus. By his death, Jesus opened a new and life-giving way through the curtain into the Most Holy Place. And since we have a great High Priest who rules over God’s house, let us go right into the presence of God with sincere hearts fully trusting him. – Hebrews 10:19-23 (NLT)


There I’d find the perfect peace,

The sureness of Your presence,

The warmth of Your love,

And the comfort of Your embrace.
