Nestled Under Your Wings

I see the shimmers of your light, Lord. 
My life unfolds to one body 
Becoming the air that runs across the golden fields. 
The wet pure water that swirls and flows, 
The soil that yields sweet fragrant blooms. 

Nestle under your wings, finding strength inside 
To continue; 
I am able to breathe and rest at your feet, 
As my head lies upon your lap as I sleep. 

Your touch,
Helps to control the strife whilst you stroke my hair.
My heart starts to beat again refusing to let go of you. 

No matter how great my need, 
You are always there extending your hand 
Abling me to rise holding up my head again. 

Lord let me be your instrument,
An instrument of change.
Give me the strength and courage to go beyond and change my life,
And help those that need that same strength.
