Story behind the song
I was inspired by the classic country davorite "On the Wings Of a Dove" by Ferlin Husky but I didn't want to write a country song.
Lyrics
Down here on the ground, we got trouble all around.
People killing in the name of the Lord.
People worry 'bout the bills till it makes them sad and ill
'Cause they're spending more than they can afford.
People watching the TV thinking that's reality
When it's really nothing but another show.
Spending evenings in the bars.
Then they get into their cars
And they make them go as fast as they can go.
But up here the air is clean and pure.
And up here the sun is shining bright.
And up here I always can be sure
That everything is gonna turn out right.
Because I'm riding on the wings, riding on the wings,
Riding on the wings of a dove.
Enjoying all the things that His goodness brings.
Riding on the wings of His love.
INSTRUMENTAL
People talking on the news
'bout the wars and the abuse
Saying things that I don't really want to hear.
Satan says this is his hour
and he says he has the power
To determine what happens to us here.
And the people in control acting like they have no soul
As they cheat and they steal and they lie.
People trembling in fear
'cause they think the end is near.
But I've got my eyes on the sky.
And up here God's rule is absolute.
And up here, Satan can not do me harm.
And no one has ever found a substitute
For the safety of God's loving arms.
And I'm riding on the wings, riding on the wings,
Riding on the wings of a dove.
The soul inside me sings praises to the King
When I'm riding on the wings of His love.
INSTRUMENTAL
And up here, I am never afraid or weak.
And up here, I am never alone.
And up here, I hear the voice of my Father speak
Saying, "Son, you are one of my own."
And I'm riding on the wings, riding on the wings,
Riding on the wings of a dove.
Riding on the wings of my Saviour and my King.
Yes, I'm riding on the wings of His love.
And I'm riding on the wings, riding on the wings,
Riding on the wings of a dove.
Riding on the wings of my Saviour and my King.
Yes, I'm riding on the wings of His love.
