The Wind Beneath our Wings

What laws of nature will carry us on our flight?
Over high mountains to a destination bright?
A strong forward thrust, a powerful uplift
With faith- the principle power- in the cockpit
We're on a journey, the gospel is at the core-
At the center of our hearts and forevermore

With agency, we choose Jesus as our copilot
With Him we spiritually soar more self-reliant
He's placed His temples as beacons to light our way
Towards Heavenly Father whom we love and obey
Our safety lies in the virtue of our lives
Our Savior teaches us how to prioritize

We have the commandments and we take on our Lord's name
And the test comes in practicing what we proclaim
For if we've Christlike attributes, we've direction
That, if we're contrite in spirit guides the corrections
With faith and hope over oceans of temptations
The winds' beneath our wings for our destination
