On Eagle's Wings

Michael Crawford never fails to inspire me when I listen to his song "On Eagle's Wings" from his CD album of the same name.

"You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord, who abide in his shadow for life

Say to the Lord: "My refuge, My Rock in whom I trust!"
And He will raise you up on eagle's wings

Bear you on the breath of dawn

Make you to shine like the sun

And hold you in the palm of His hand.
You need not fear the terror of the night nor the arrow that flies by day

Under His wings your refuge, His faithfulness your shield
For to His angels He's given a command to guard you in all of your ways

Upon their hands they will bear you up lest you dash your foot against a stone.

And He will raise you up on eagle's wings
Bear you on the breath of dawn
Make you to shine like the sun
And hold you in the palm of His hand."

During our worship service today, as Dabak preached from Isaiah 40:28-31, I again sensed God's eagle wings of renewal flooding my soul. While praying silently, "Lord, I need you to raise me up today!", there came a real assurance of His renewing strength as promised to all who believe.

Thank you, Lord, for bearing us up on your eagle wings!
