If my heart had wings

If you were around at the end of the 90's, you probably remember when Faith Hill's Breathe album- and all the classic songs from it- came out.

If you're like me, You might remember especially vividly a beautiful, passionately soaring song called 'If my heart had wings'.

I was just listening to that beautiful song again, and I realized that it is not about a human lover.

It is about longing for God!

Damn these old wheels

Rolling too slow

I stare down this white line

With so far to go

Headlights keep coming

Loneliness humming along

Who poured this rain?

Who made these clouds?

I stare through this windshield

Thinking out loud

Time keeps on crawling

Love keeps on calling me home

I'd jump all these mountains and take to the skies

Sail through the Heavens with stars in my eyes

If my heart had wings

I would fly to you and lie

Beside you as you dream

If my heart had wings?...

Stuck on this circle

Spinning around

Cut loose this rope

That's tying me down

If my heart had wings...

Who made the rain? Who made the clouds?

When you cut loose of this circle spinning around in the sky, where do you find yourself?

How often do we long for something like God here in the material world, often without knowing it?

And that soaring feeling of the song, that's the joy of God!

Something to think about!

God loves you!

Sincerely,

David S. Annderson
