i was weak 

i was so fragile 

by myself not worth that much 

not worth that much at all 



i was scared 

i was so cold 

was afraid to take a step 

a step lest i should fall 



yet amidst my fear of dying 

i found faith enough for flying 

and an endless source of freedom 

for my wings 



fearless in the face of danger 

fearless though sometimes a stranger 

i'm not afraid to tell you what i found 

i'm fearless all around 



i am not ashamed 

i am satisfied 

for to me to die is gain 

and to live is Christ 



i am not afraid 

i am not alone 

for my hope is held in this 

my God is in control 



though the wind is cold and biting 

i can see the sun is shining 

though the clouds bring rain for ruin 

i see clear sky 



yet amidst my fear of dying 

i've found faith enough of flying 

and an endless source of freedom 

for my wings 



so i fan to flame a fire 

the gift of God now my desire 

and i watch the word inspire 

you to fly...!
