The Eagle

The eagle soars above it all,

He has a heavenly view;

And we with wings of spiritual power,

Can rise above it too.

The runner may have many things,

To block his goal from view;

But we, with Jesus as our source,

Our strength He will renew.

Although we may not soar or run,

Though walking be our lot;

Still, we can forward move each day,

To faint, our hearts need not.

“Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: 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” (Isaiah 40:30-31).
