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 in 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 I could fly
Through distant deeps and skies
Behind infinity
Below the face of Heaven
He stoops to create me
Man versus himself
Man versus machine
Man versus the world
Mankind versus me
The struggles go on
The wisdom I lack
The burdens keep piling
Up on my back
So hard to breathe
To take the next step
The mountain is high
I wade 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 Yours
Only You can make every new day seem so new
