When I was young, the smallest trick of light, Could catch my eye, Then life was new and every new day, I thought that I could fly.
I believed in what I hoped for, And I hoped in things unseen, I had wings and dreams could soar, I just don't feel like flying anymore.
When the stars threw down their spears, Watered Heaven with their tears, Before words were spoken, Before eternity.
Dear Father, I need you, Your strength my heart to mend. I want to fly higher, Every new day again.
When I was small, the furthest I could reach, reach, was not so high, then I, thought the world was so much smaller, feeling I, could fly.
Through distant deeps and skies, behind infinity, below the face of Heaven, he stoops to create me.
Man versus himself. Man versus machine. Man versus the world. mankind versus me. The struggles go on, the wisdom I lack, the burdens keep piling up on my back. So hard to breathe, to take the next step. The mountains is high, I wait in the depths. Yearning for grace, and hoping for peace. Dear God... increase.
Healing hands of God have mercy on our unclean souls once again. Jesus Christ, light of the world burning bright within our hearts forever. Freedom means love without condition, without a beginning or an end. Here’s my heart, let it be forever Yours, only you can make every new day seem so new.

Line 5 of the poem, "In what distant deeps or skies", matches FIF's line: "Through distant deeps and skies, behind infinity, below the face of Heaven, he stoops to create me."
And lines 17 and 18, "When the stars threw down their spears,/And watered heaven with their tears," match the same words in this song.
Just thought I'd point it out. But it's a great song, imo. :)
I don't believe in a greater power, I never have, but I can't help but to appreciate this amazing band, and the connection of the voices in Amazing Grace and Silent Night at the end of the album are just so magical feeling. Its fantastic.
Also, one of the best ska bands I've ever heard.
This song just lifts my heart towards God in an unexplainable way.
+1
That's was the most solemn and powerful "Amazing Grace" and "Silent Night" I ever heard in entire life.
God Bless FIF, where ever they are right now, U want them to know how much they touched my life in the time I needed it the most...I'm so happy I was given the chance to listen to their song, by GOD's GLORY it happened.
I wish I was also there when they were performing it.
I love them, I Love GOD!

FIF, Roper, Brave Saint Saturn, Demon Hunter, Relient K, Casting Crowns, David Crowder, POD, etc. A never ending concert before Christ's throne. Can't wait.
