Vlerke
Nicholis Louw Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Vlerke dra my op die winde
En my stem word ver gehoor
My woorde streel die seerste harte
Elke noot vir my geloof

Niemand is volmaak gemaak nie
Niemand weet dit beter as Hy

Maar Hy gee my vlerke
Soveel wonderwerke
Soveel te vermag in so min tyd

Met Sy seun se lewe
Het Hy my vergewe
En Hy sê vir my om my vlerke te sprei

So gebruik my God ‘n sondaar
Om Sy boodskap te versprei
En so bewys Hy Sy genade
En Sy stem verwelkom my

So wie is ek dan om te oordeel?
Vader ek is hier om te sing

Want Hy gee my vlerke
Soveel wonderwerke
Soveel te vermag in so min tyd

Met Sy seun se lewe
Het Hy my vergewe
En Hy sê vir my om my vlerke te sprei

Want Hy gee my vlerke
Soveel wonderwerke
Soveel te vermag in so min tyd

Met Sy seun se lewe

Het Hy my vergewe
En Hy sê vir my om my vlerke te sprei
