Flying High In The Sky Flying High In The Sky Flying
high in the sky
Like a balloon on the fly
Running from past memories and shame
But
strings on me
That I cannot see
The Devil has
To keep me from getting away
I
get just so far
Almost can touch the stars
Thinking I’m free of my trouble and pain
Then he starts telling me lies, yanking my chain
I
fight and struggle
But I’m sure in a boggle
Like a fish on a line
I cannot break free with just little old me
In
time I learn to call on His name
Jesus, the One who made a way to Heaven for me.
I cast all my cares, the burdens I bear
On the One who cares for me
As
I start facing my past
Instead of fighting the trash
That has been hindering me
The Lord starts setting me free
When
I cast all my cares
On the Lord who can bear
All my past memories and shame
The
Devil loses his hold
And can no longer control
With the lies he has been telling me
For
I cast all my cares on the One who cares
And took all my burdens to bear
I,
no longer bound
By my past all around
For I called on the One who loves me.

(I
wrote this about a week after I first arrived at Bible School. I was having a
hard day
and I wrote it after seeing one of the
guys fly a balloon with a
fishing pole with one of the kids)
