If I Take the Wings of the Morning
 
1. If I take the wings of the morning
To fly with them over the sea,
No matter how far or how fast I've flown,
I'll not be alone, my God is forever with me. 
 
2. If I reach the gateway of heaven,
Descend to the portals of hell,
Though spirits of evil or death appear,
I'll show them no fear, for God will be with me as well. 
 
3. If I'm called to walk through the darkness
And journey through blackest of night,
Yet there in the deepest of gloom confined,
I'll never be blind, for God is the Giver of light. 
 
4. My Lord knows the way everlasting,
His wonderful thoughts are so high;
If He should direct me through darkest shade,
I'll not be afraid, for He is still there by my side. 
 
- paraphrase of Psalm 139:7-12
