Give Them Wings to Fly
by Bonnie Keen

Album: Marked for Life

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

Oh, far beyond the reaches of my love
I know You will be there
Father, hear their every cry
And give them wings to fly
Ooh, give them wings to fly
