Fling Wide by Misty Edwards lyrics

Here are the lyrics to a beautiful, beautiful song by Misty Edwards from her album of the same title, Fling Wide.

I tried to transcribe the lyrics myself, so I'm not sure if these are the exact lyrics because I may have heard some words wrong. Apologies to Misty Edwards for that.

This song is a new favorite song of mine now. We always like to receive winds of refreshing, but winds of testing also arrive. God is God in times of refreshing and times of testing. Do we welcome testing when we come face to face with it? Do we embrace it when it's there? Sometimes we forget that it is in the times of testing that refreshing comes because that's when we learn to depend on God and God alone.

Let's remember Psalm 23...the Lord is our Shepherd in the quiet waters and green pastures as well as in the valley of the shadow of death.

Awake, awake o north wind,

Awake awake o south wind
Blow over me

Come o winds of testing
Come winds of refreshing
Blow over me

Awake, awake o north wind,
Awake awake o south wind
Blow over me

Come o winds of testing
Come winds of refreshing
Blow over me


Let the winds blow(15x)

Fling wide the door to my soul
Open up the door to my heart
Have your way, have your way
Have your way yeah

I won’t be afraid
I will face the wind
I won’t be afraid
I'll embrace the flame

Let the winds blow(15x)

Fling wide the door to my soul
Open up the door to my heart
Have your way, have your way
Have your way yeah

Fling wide the door to my soul
Open up the door to my heart
Have your way, have your way
Have your way yeah

Take me through the fire
Take me through the rain
Take me through the testing
I’ll do anything
Test me try me prove me refine me
Like to gold, like to gold

Fling wide the door to my soul
Open up the door to my heart
Have your way, have your way
Have your way yeah

Fling wide the door to my soul
Open up the door to my heart
Have your way, have your way
Have your way yeah

Take me through the fire
Take me through the rain
Take me through the testing
I’ll do anything
Test me try me prove me refine me
Like to gold, like to gold

Merry Christmas!

Of the increase of His government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever.
