This is the lyrics to a gospel song that I was asked to write.


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


Verse 1:


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


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


Verse 2:


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


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.
