take these wings

今天為大家選來一首英文歌,是一班小朋友為一對宣教士夫婦出發前的獻唱歌曲.

take these wings

i found a sparrow lyingon the ground;

her life i knew would soon be at an end.

i knelt before her as she made asound ,

and listened as she said."my friend."

*take these wings~and learn to fly

~to the highestmountain in the sky;

take these eyes~and learn to see

~all the things so dear to me.

take this song~and learn to sinG,

~fill your voice with all the joys of spring;

take the heart~and set it free,

~let if fly~(let it fly,let iT fly) beyond the sea."

i found another sparrow on the sand,

 a tiny bird whose life had just begun.

i picked him and held him in my hand;

~i smiled a t him and said,"my son."

REPEAT*

這首歌是借一隻麻鷹的經歷要告訴我們,借麻雀的比喻將神的道傳開,帶出祂的真善美,但願這一家人在未來的日子當中,在遙遠的地方中,為主作工。
