Determined

I so want to escape
what keeps pulling me down,
to be free from corruption
and this life on the ground.

So I try and I try

to do what is right,
but a part of my makeup
aborts every flight.

What is the answer,
where is the clue
that will help me escape
and fly faithful and true?

The answer is so simple
it escapes my searching eye;
Christ Jesus came to lift me up
for He knew I couldn't fly.

Rest your wings upon My promises
let them lift you to a place
where your heart will change
in the glory of looking on My face.

Determine what I said is true
despite all circumstance and fear;
your part is true believing,
My part to bring you near
