This morning, on my way to work, I was listening to the album All Things New by Red Mountain Music and had the opportunity to dwell on one song entitled Spread Thy Wings and Fly. You can listen to the track here and read the words below. The song comes from Volume 2 of The Scottish Christian Herald.
What is life? ‘tis all a vapour;
Soon it vanishes away;
Life is like a dying taper;
Oh, my soul, why wish to stay?
Why not spread thy wings and fly
Straight to yonder world of joy?
See that glory, how resplendent!
Brighter far than fancy paints,
There, in majesty transcendent!
Jesus reigns, the king of saints.
Spread thy wings, my soul, and fly
Straight to yonder world of joy?
Joyful crowds his throne surrounding,
Sing with rapture of his love,
Through the heavens his praises sounding
Filling all the courts above.
Spread thy wings, my soul, and fly
Straight to yonder world of joy?
Go and share his people’s glory;
Midst the ransomed crowd appear;
Thine a joyful wondrous story:
One that angels love to hear.
Spread thy wings, my soul, and fly
Straight to yonder world of joy?
