I Want to Learn to Fly

I want to go to heaven

I want to learn to fly

To soar here in the here and now

Not waiting till I die

I want to soar with Jesus

To glide on eagle's wings

To fly beyond the mountaintops

On the Spirit wind he brings

I want to fly and spread those wings

To cast my eye on heavenly things

Drawing closer to heaven as I rise

I want to learn to fly.

To bid the ground goodbye

And to catch that course the Holy Spirit flies

Lord teach me now to fly, I want to learn to fly!

Lord, open my windows, open my cage

Set me free from this spirit of this age

And I'll soar with You, evermore with You

On the wondrous wings that only you supply

Lord teach me now to fly.

There are many wonders, many sights,

That I can't see, for I am blind

But as I soar by eyes can see

The horizons of eternity!

I want to go to heaven

I want to learn to fly

To soar here in the here and now

Not waiting till I die

I want to soar with Jesus

To glide on eagle's wings

To fly beyond the mountaintops

On the Spirit wind he brings
