To Be That Eagle

I wish I were that eagle,
that knows how to soar
who waits so patiently
to rise up with the Lord.

Then I would discover,
how to spread my wings
and in His power I could . . .
conquer what life brings.

I would have the wisdom,
to be able to discern . . .
how to fly over the clouds
not faint in my concern.

Then I'd have His strength,
and be fit for any flight
for I would trust the Lord
and put my faith in His light.

But, for now I'm His sparrow,
and He's teaching me to fly . . .
soon I'll mount like and eagle
and I will soar forever high.

Isaiah 40:31

King James Version

"But they that wait upon the Lord shall
renew their strength; they shall mount
up with wings as eagles; they shall run,
and not be weary; and they shall walk,
and not faint."
