Was God smiling when he spoke the words that made the world?
And did he cry about the flood?
What does God’s voice sound like
When he sings?   When he’s angry?
These are just a few things that the angels have on me

Well I can’t fly, at least not yet
I’ve got no halo on my head
And I can’t even start to picture heaven’s beauty
But I’ve been shown the Savior’s love
The grace of God has raised me up
To show me things the angels long to look into
And I know things the angels only wish they knew

I have seen the dark and desperate place where sin will take you
I’ve felt loneliness and shame
And I have watched the blinding light of grace come breaking through
With sweetness only tasted by the forgiven and redeemed

Still I can’t fly, at least not yet
I’ve got no halo on my head
I can’t even start to picture heaven’s beauty
But I’ve been shown the Savior’s love
The grace of God has raised me up
To show me things the angels long to look into
And I know things the angels only wish they knew

And someday I’ll sit down with my angel friends up in heaven
They’ll tell me about creation
And I’ll tell them a story of grace

Well I can’t fly, at least not yet
I’ve got no halo on my head
And I can’t even start to picture heaven’s beauty
But I’ve been shown the Savior’s love
The grace of God has raised me up
To show me things the angels long to look into
And I know things the angels only wish they knew.
