“…they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.“ (Isa 40:31, ESV)
If I was the Eagle in God’s Holy Word
Id make a break above where I forsook
For the sweetest sound I ever heard
Is when I opened my Bible, had a look
As that eagle I rise to above the cloud
sunlight of His presence is in my sight
In the final cry, where the gospel is loud
Announcing Jesus, my cloud is bright
Each Word, the Book, sunbeam of light
Scripture given to lighten all my weight
Lord grow me wings of the eagle tonight
In weeping cage, give the gospel straight
Above the thunder and thick in my dark
Jesus grew me wings to rise above it all
Praise God my wings fly to the Holy Arc
A place of rest where I still hear His call
As storms of grief weave a hideous shroud
I go with wings to my refuge in tomorrow
Three angels carry me above my thick cloud
For Jesus comes and I lose my worst sorrow
I’m called to mount up on my Eagle’s wings
where the sunlight of His love shines bright
the kindness of Jesus is why my heart sings
Yes he makes me new and fills me with Light
