Spirit Wings

Between You, God, and me, what's in the way?
I deeply feel I have a spiritual side,
but there's all the distractions of the day,
and I'd like You to be more cut and dried.

It seems we're not on the same playing field,
still You made me so we could come to terms,
I'm quite sure You want me with faith to yield,
and trust all that Your universe confirms.

The biggest thing between us, Lord, is me,
my wants, my sins, my pride, the list is clear,
from things that blind, I must set myself free,
with all that sent away, I'll find You near.

O God, help me my spirit wings unwrap,
so I can fly to You across the gap.
