Eagle Wings - Sparrow Wings
I don't have eagle's wings to fly with,
mine are that of a single sparrow.
It's okay as long as I can fly the route, to
Heaven's gate, which is straight and narrow.

I don't need to be first, nor last - I only
need and desire to get there.
My trust is in Jesus and God's unfailing
love and care.

With them in my heart and soul, I know
for sure that I am Heaven bound.
It's by God's grace that one day in Heaven
my spirit will be found.

So, use eagle's wings if you have them to
fly with to Heaven - that is okay with me.
I'll be coming along also because to each,
in his own time, salvation in free.

I don't want to be too early to Heaven,
nor do I want to be too late.
I will be saved as I fly with my sparrow
wings through Heaven's gate.
