about

This song lines up with the final chapter in River of Grace, Chapter Six. It signifies my belief that anything is possible with God and that life can be a joyous adventure even when going through difficult times if we but dare to step out in faith.

lyrics

Touch the Sky

“My arms, outstretched, await you
Spread your wings and fly
For I will lift you up
And you will touch the sky!”

Oh Lord, I am so fearful
That’s why I hesitate
I just can’t make that leap
Because I lack the faith
I don’t know why
I just can’t try
My fears, they are so paralyzing
Wish I was strong
Oh how I long
To trust in you, my Lord

“Bring your fears to me, child
Lay down your shame and grief
For I will lift your burden
And you will find relief
Then you shall fly
Across the sky
With wings of joy to lift you higher
You can be strong
For your heart longs (for you belong to Me)
To trust in me, my child”

“Then you shall fly
Across the sky
With wings of joy to lift you higher
You can be strong
For you belong to Me”

“My arms, outstretched, await you
Spread your wings and fly
For I will lift you up
And you will touch the sky!”
