I Will Fly
One day, in a basement room, two years ago
i found salvation, and forgiveness of sins
and while i have no excuse, i know
i often need saved from sin again
so many days and nights i cried
for love of Jesus, my blessed Lord
for His love of me He bled and died
and my own loyalty is small reward
i can not begin to comprehend His glory
in those courts of God, on Zions mount
still more, His compassion and care for me
this flawed vessel of such little account
i still sin, and i still fail
still so far from my own "holiness"
still so close to His, my Holy Grail
and such joy, i can not fail to express
when i sin, to my regret and loss
in place of Love Divine
i erect a bloody cross
and of our loves, i lose mine
this is what i can not stand
the thought of His pain, unended
from His cross, to my death, i understand
our sins cause sorrow, however defended
i can not forget His love,
His presence here, in my little life
there was a time, His Spirit flowed from above
the memory of such joy cuts like a knife
i don't want to live in sin again
i won't be at peace with my faults
my Lord Jesus will win
and i will stand under Heavens' vaults
looking at Heavens' sky
in the presence of Christ
i will fly
