John Denver, in a 1993 concert, touched hearts with ‘The Wings That Fly Us Home.’
This song, born from a collaboration with Joe Henry, turned their shared conversations into moving music and lyrics. Denver’s performance was both clear and powerful, especially in these lines:
There are many ways of being in the circle we call life
A wise man seeks an answer, burns his candle through the night
Is a jewel just a pebble that found a way to shine
Is a hero’s blood more righteous than a hobo’s sip of wine
The audience’s applause at the end showed how deeply they were moved by the performance. Denver’s song is a reminder of God’s constant guidance in our lives.
Psalm 139:9-10: “If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.”
