Sometimes I just wish to be an angel
To be one of His servants
I would be able to help people
I wouldn't be helpless like now
He would send me from Heaven to earth
And there I would praise His word
The people would listen to me
Because they would know
That it's true what I'd say
Because they would see my wings
These wings tell everyone I'm from Heaven
These wings show that I'm His
These wings help me to fly
These wings help me to help
If only I would have them
I could help in His name
But people don't need wings to fly
They have machines created for this
But to work in His name they are not made
They can fly over lands and boarders
But they cannot lead them home
When they fly they can fall
But when an angel guides them
They can feel His love so near
They say "Oh, my lord, I feel Thee!"
They know that they are loved
These wings tell everyone I'm from Heaven
These wings show that I'm His
These wings help me to fly
These wings help me to help
If only I would have them
I could help in His name
I'm not an angel – everyone can see
I do not have wings to fly
And I cannot guide people home
I cannot save everyone's soul – not even my own
And I cannot make you whole
But I can sing this song for you
And I can tell you the story of a man
Whose father lives in Heaven and calls us His own
He's everyone's father – I know for sure
And he doesn't need wings to fly
