VERSE 1:
Oh that I had the wings of a bird
I would fly away and be at rest
Truth is slipping while wrong is preferred
This world’s constantly at odds with me
CHORUS:
You’re the very one I need to run to
Shelter me under your wings
Out of the pit that I’m in
Spirit a new work begin
Fill me with joy once again
Until this weary heart sings
VERSE 2:
Anguish taunts me, my heart’s filled with pain
In this godless age the wicked rage
Show your power, their ranting restrain
Evil plans defeat, end their deceit
VERSE 3:
Take these burdens that weigh on my heart
I cast every care upon you there
As for me Lord, I’ll trust in your word
To be life to me abundantly
