Story behind the song
This song began as an instrumental, and developed into a praise song based references to OT "wings" passages, especially Ps 18
Lyrics
On the Wings of the Wind
Copyright © 2017 by Thomas G. Allen
Verse 1
You are my God, you are my hope
My rock in every way,
Worthy of all praise, You are the Lord
Enthroned on high, you hear my cry
Though robed in majesty
You feel my pain and need
You are my Lord
Chorus
On the wings of the wind
You ride swiftly to defend
Like lighting in the sky
You make the darkness run and hide
On the wings of the wind
Your mercies soar and never end
Descending from above,
You lift me up in love
On the wings of the wind
Verse 2
You are my God, you are my peace
My rock in every way
Worthy of all praise, You are the Lord
You reign on high, yet hear my cry
When drowning in despair
Your word’s my only air
You are my Lord
Chorus
On the wings of the wind
You ride swiftly to defend
Like lighting in the sky
You make the darkness run and hide
On the wings of the wind
Your mercies soar and never end
Descending from above,
You lift me up in love, on your wings
Bridge
With your mighty wings you deliver me
Spreading your wings you shelter me
Like the sun you rise up,
My righteous king,
On healing wings of love
Verse 3
You are my God, you are my joy
My rock in every way
Worthy of all praise, You are my Lord
Chorus and tag
On the wings of the wind
Your mercies soar and never end
Descending from above,
You lift me up in joy and love
On the wings of the wind
I will sing your praise
again, again, again
In this spacious grace
I will see your loving face,
On the wings of the wind
On the wings of the wind
On the wings of the wind
