Wings of the Morning
If I took wings of the morning and I flew to the shore most far away
Ingrid herrera
Then you are already there you lead me and your hand is holding me
Lord you search me Lord you know me
Lord you re holding me
You re my creator you re my provider
You are the pastor of my life
If I arose to the heaven
You re already there
If I went down to the sheol
I could not hide me
If I took wings…
Now I have seen that there s no meaning
to hide away from your face
Everywhere I go you are there
I can’t fly from you
All of my days you are knowing
Every second of my life
in Darkness and light at the end of the space
You are finding me
If I took wings of the morning….
1. How does sister feel about their relationship with God? Could you please to describe your current situations with God?
God is my father in heaven. He is the perfect father, not as my earthly father – who was as a human being not perfect.
God is living in me through the Holy Spirit – and the name Emanuel for Jesus means God is with us.
God knows – what I need, he is leading me through my life – with the purpose that I grow in love – and grace – and spiritual understanding.
Often, I have to obey him, but not, because he forces me to do something, – his will is, to protect me from all evil – and when I hear his voice in me and obey, – I am better off than just doing what I want.
2. What is the role of God in sister’s life and how does it make them feel?
God has many roles in my life: He is a leader – as I mentioned and shows me how to handle difficult situations.
He is somebody who is with me, – when I am sad and worried he weeps my tears.
Jesus died for me on the cross – and took away my sins, – so that I may repent and receive Christ who gives me the right to be a Child of God.
3. How does sister feel about being not able to hide from God？
It gives me security. In the bible we have a prophet, – his name is Jona, who ran away from God.
But God found him and gave him a second chance.
So, I know, – when I am not right, doing my own will – and run away from God, he will find me and bring me back – and if I would like to repent, I will receive a second chance, too.
4. What does the song mean when it says “If I took wings of the morning, I could not hide me”?
I wrote the song when I moved from one continent to the other and this voyage was by plane. There is a Psalm in the bible which talks about flying away from God and not being able to hide.
But at last, it means, that if we have a conflict with God, we cannot become angry and hide us away from him. If we are truly his children, he does not allow, that we hide us in anger. He finds us and he shows us the reason why something that we did not like happened.
5. How do you feel about God’s knowledge and presence in your current life?
God’s presence is the kingdom of God. John the Baptist said: Repent because the kingdom of God came near and Jesus preached the same once again.
The kingdom of God came near and by repenting my sins and converting me into a child of God, I am part of this kingdom. The kingdom of darkness and evil has no rights in me anymore to draw me to hell and eternal death. While I am here on earth, it can use other persons to make me feel sad, but my citizenship is the kingdom of heaven.
6. As for the origin of the universe, namely the Big Bang, sister, who do you think opened Pandora’s box? God?
First of all, there was no Big Bang. The bible says in the beginning God created heaven and earth. He always created through his word, not through a chaotical situation.
We as human beings cannot say anything about big bang and how world was created, because all our knowledge is based on the physical laws of nature and the physical laws of nature were established, when creation was finished.
7. What do you think is the central message of the song, and how does it relate to your own beliefs about God?
The central message in this song is, that God is in the whole universe and every place that exists. My beliefs are, that I never will be able to understand how great God is and how wonderful the fact is, that even he is great, he is interested in me.
8. Sister，All things in the world have all kinds of incredible coincidences. If it were science, but life had already appeared millions of years ago. Currently, it is only constantly developing. Do you think if we humans do more than the earth’s environmental capacity can handle, God will give mankind a helping hand again? Or only give Christians the power to wear wings and fly to a happy country？
There is no coincidence in this world, because God has everything under control. All the bad things, that happen in our days, he has already seen before and he planned, when human being will have destroyed the world by sin, he will create a new heaven and earth. Since everyone gets the chance to repent and be free from sins, he only accepted those, who repented from sin and refuged themselves in Jesus Christ.
It is like in the time of Noah: All had the chance to go into the ark and be saved from the great flood, but at the end, there was only the closest family of Noah which got saved, because all other people refused to go into the ark.
Respecting of the age of the earth, we have no information, because for God 1000 years are one day.
At the moment we have no constant developing, it is the opposite: All goes down. You can see it in the languages, that there must have been higher cultures than our culture in the past, because the old languages like the Sanskrit or Latin for example were much more difficult to learn.
The bible informed clearly, that with mankind, creation was finished. And it tells the story from the broken relationship with God to the restored relationship with God.
So let us not be like the people in the days of Noah, who ignored, that Noah is building an ark or called him for fool, but let us take Jesus as our redeemer and we will go into the new heaven and earth, too
