Make me a bird, Lord, and fashion my wings
That they may fly to thee, that my mouth may sing
A fresh Hallelujah each morning I rise
And Lord, make my vision as keen as thine eyes
For glory surrounds me; all glory is thine.

Love how 'Make me a bird' comes first. So first you think your going to get a bird (like the fine treasures on the sill). But then instead is a wish to strive to be as one.
It's beauty like this that inspires faith. -
Wonderful prayer!
