Find Your Foundation, Find Your WingsTake heed of this groundFind Your Foundation, Find Your Wings by ~Alter47
On which you stand
This solid bedrock
This steady land
Take captive each thought
Let wisdom safely guide
She is there when you seek

The pulse of new life
In a heart made of coal

Within His foundation
Spread wide golden wings
Rejoice in salvation
