But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31 (NIV)
–
I watch the eagle soar
Carried on the breeze
Unfettered by this world
He drifts with graceful ease.
–
The eagle spreads his wings,
Devoid of doubts and fears,
He casts himself upon the wind
Then circles, dips, and veers.
–
When sudden squalls arise
He taps into their power
He does not dread the storm
But rises ever higher
–
Oh, how I long to soar
Like an eagle on the wind
To cast off these fetters
Leaving my cares behind.
–
To take that leap of faith,
Into your loving arms
And feel you carry me
Above life’s harshest storms.
–
Raise me up to new heights
Far beyond my striving
Lift me into your presence,
Where I can find peace and healing.
