About 12 years ago there was a song on the radio that I enjoyed it was called “One Wing In The Fire” I enjoyed this song. Basically walking the edge in life.
Over time I have not thought much about this song until a few months ago when I was doing a youtube search and that song came up. I decided to really listen to the song.
So I listened to it again. I realized that this song describes my dad. My dad always identified with being a catholic. But he really did not go to church growing up. My dad struggled with alcohol during my childhood.
So listening to this song again makes me think about my dad and how he lives his life with one wing in the fire. GOD is not a subject that my dad really talks about. He feels he believes in GOD and that is enough
As a Christian, I know that there is more to having a relationship with GOD than just believing. You need to live your life for GOD and change things in your life.
This definitely puts things into perspective for me. I pray for my dad that he will have a desire to have a relationship with GOD. All I can do is put it at the altar and know that GOD is in control
To GOD Be The GLORY. Take Care. Much Love.
“One Wing In The Fire”
Daddy’s been a back-row Baptist
With his share of front-row sin
His Saturday night still on his breathe
Every Sunday when he’d walk in
He’s never led the Benediction
He’s never sang in the choir
But he’s an angel with no halo
An’ one wing in the fire
Mamma lives by the Bible
The Bible lives by the bed
An’ she’s lied alone so many nights
With scriptures in her head.
Prayin’, Good Lord, just be with him
I know his Faith is tired
But he’s an angel with no halo
An’ one wing in the fire
An’ I know he lives a little left of livin’ right
An he’s come close to goin’ way to far a few times
But I’d trade a thousand prayers
If just one prayer would come true
Lord, please believe in him, like I believe in you
Daddy’s always been there for me
From T-Ball to touchdowns
Fixed my car an’ fixed my heart
When they’ve been broken down
I know he calls for more forgiveness
Than most folks do require
But he’s an angel with no halo
An’ one wing in the fire
An’ I know he lives a little left of livin’ right
An he’s come close to goin’ way to far a few times
But I’d trade a thousand prayers
If just one prayer would come true
Lord, please believe in him, like I believe in you
Well, I just can’t imagine
What Heaven might be like
If me an’ Mamma make it
Without Daddy by our side
Lord, could you please remember
When it’s time to call us higher
That he’s an angel with no halo
An’ one wing in the fire
Ooooh
