Wings of the Morning [Intro] [A rushing wind sound, like taking off. A beautiful, upward-sliding synth melody. A soft 808 beat kicks in.] If I take the wings... of the morning... And fly... to the uttermost parts of the sea... Even there... Your hand will lead me... Jah... [Verse 1] There is no place I can go to escape from your love, No height or no depth, no push or no shove. Your goodness is the wind that lifts me up high, Your mercy is the sun in an endless blue sky. You are the one who numbers the sands, You hold the whole universe in your two hands. And your goodness and mercy are the wings that I wear, Taking me higher, out of the snare. [Verse 2] You are the eagle that teaches me to soar, You open the heavens and you give me much more. Your mercy is a current that carries me on, From the dusk of the evening to the light of the dawn. You are the pilot, you're the captain of my soul, Your love is the force that is making me whole. You lead me to places I've never been, And you show me the beauty that's hidden within. [Chorus 1] On the wings of the morning, I'll rise and I'll fly, With your goodness and mercy, I'll reach for the sky. No valley too low, and no mountain too high, Can keep me from you, Jah, when I lift up my cry. You are my refuge, my hope, and my song, And with the wings of the morning, I'll carry on. [Verse 3] You are the wind beneath my two feet, You make my life a victorious beat. Your goodness is the air that I breathe every day, Your mercy, the words that I long to obey. You are the truth that will set me free, And I'll follow you, Jah, for eternity. You are the light that shines in the dark, And you've placed in my spirit a heavenly spark. [Chorus 2] On the wings of the morning, I'll rise and I'll fly, With your goodness and mercy, I'll reach for the sky. No valley too low, and no mountain too high, Can keep me from you, Jah, when I lift up my cry. You are my refuge, my hope, and my song, And with the wings of the morning, I'll carry on. [Bridge] [Music swells, feeling of being airborne. Vocals echo.] Flying... Higher... Higher... Into your presence... Into your love... Your goodness... carries me... Your mercy... surrounds me... Jah... Rastafari... [Outro] [The beat fades, leaving the soaring pads. The wind sound returns.] Wings of the morning... Flying home... To you... Jah... [The music fades into a soft, high-pitched drone.]
