Into the Sky
(Rich Mullins)
Oh, I wish that all my days were finally done
And my spirit rose and with God became one.
Like the fading colors when sunset is through
Melt into the oceans’ greens and midnight blues.
Into the sky! I gather wings and slowly rise.
My Father sings and earth she cries
And from her strings flow dancing youths.
But, lest there’s truth, I hide my eyes.
And Oh, I wish that all my brothers in the Son
Would gather in the sheltering arms of the Holy One!
Laughing in their pleasure, weeping in their pain
Knowing life’s a song of beginning again!
Into the sky! I gather wings and slowly rise.
My Father sings and earth she cries
And from her strings flow dancing youths.
But, lest there’s truth I hide my eyes..
