From the recording Blind as Your Servant
Lyrics
Fly Away
Sung by Gloriana Smith
Oh Jesus, how can I sing of you,
When I am silenced by your beauty
Your love overwhelms my heart,
And what I see I only see in part
But I hear song birds singing your name
And I hear the wind join in the refrain
They're singing of your returning,
They hear the whole creation yearning
Chorus:
To fly away and answer the call of your song, up to the heights
Where I find myself dancing like a hind in the morning at dawn
Where the new world is being born.
Oh my Lord, 'God, my King, I'm at loss for words to sing
I feel this world crumbling apart, I see families with broken hearts
Yet I hear voices praising your name,
I know your glory is all that will remain
There is fear and death all around my feet,
But your song beckons me to eternity
