Give Them Wings to Fly

I do believe that heaven sends angels from above

Sheltering the children God has given me to love

For nothing is as sacred as the caring of their souls

How I long to keep them safe wherever they may go

If I could, I'd hide them in the warmth of my embrace

And let their world be filled with only innocence and grace

But if I gave them all the riches underneath the moon

Still my only place of hope is giving them to you

There will be broken dreams that I cannot repair

Silent tears my hands will never dry

Far beyond the reaches of my love, I know you will be there

Father, hear their every cry and give them wings to fly

Looking back I see the hand of God is always near

Angels weave their presence through a tapestry of years

The echoes of my mother's prayers have now become my plea

Covering my children with the grace that covers me

There will be broken dreams that I cannot repair

Silent tears my hands will never dry

Far beyond the reaches of my love, I know you will be there

Father, hear their every cry and give them wings to fly

I have seen the way the world can toss and turn a tender heart

So I'm trusting you to meet them where they are

Far beyond the reaches of my love, I know you will be there

Father, hear their every cry and give them wings to fly

To fly, give them wings to fly

I do believe that heaven sends angels from above

Sheltering the children God has given me to love
