John Owens: Music
Wings Of Praise

Words and Music by John Owens
Life has beaten you down
Forced to carry more than you can bear
The path is steep, the road is too dark
Wondering if anybody cares
But then, in the quiet you can feel it
A cool wind blowing anew
Silent and gentle
It starts to beckon you
To fly, to soar, carried by the spirit
When you praise His name
Feel the freedom that is in it
You’ll be changed
When you praise
Drawing near to Heaven
When you fly on the wings of praise
Pain and sorrow fill your heart
Pushing out the joy that you once knew
Light, stolen from your eyes
How will you have the strength to make it through
But then, your vision becomes clearer
A glow long gone again appears
Soft and warm
You’re lifted from the tears
Until the day when we will know Him face to face
Our greatest joy will be found in our praise
