Chorus:

Lord send me down those borrowed wings to lift my spirit up high

Cleanse my heart and claim my soul; unto You dear Lord I cry

I began to pray as a little girl in church on Sunday morn

I learned that God is full of love and something to be adored

I prayed to God for guidance and peace so my heart never strayed

I asked forgiveness in times of need and all along the way

Lord send me down those borrowed wings to lift my spirit up high

Cleanse my heart and claim my soul; unto You dear Lord I cry

As the years rolled past I learned about God’s mercy and His grace

I understood God lives in me no matter of time nor place

I prayed to God to find other souls; to set their spirits free

I ask of you to hear His word; I ask on bended knee

Lord send me down those borrowed wings to lift my spirit up high

Cleanse my heart and claim my soul; unto You dear Lord I cry.
