Teach Us to Fly

We sit and watch as the world goes by,

We accept the loss of another day.

We turn to God and ask him “Why?”

But we’re the ones who choose to live this way.

We could reach the stars if we’d only try.

But we don’t take the opportunity.

We don’t listen to Him or seek His plan.

He has one, you know, for you and me.

Perhaps some day we’ll learn His way,

And listen to His loving voice.

We’ll take His hand and walk with Him.

But we must make that choice.

God doesn’t push, he doesn’t demand,

He waits for us to accept His love.

He offers us His marvelous gifts.

He rewards us from His altar far above.

So let us rise and watch no more

As the world simply passes by.

Let’s take the love He offers us,

And let Him teach us how to fly.
