On Eagle's Wings

On eagle’s wings let me rise up Let me rise up to Thee Oh, let me see Your holy face Though only a human I be On eagle’s wings, Lord let me fly Let me soar through the presence of You Please grant me just this one request This one request will do. On eagle’s wings let me feel you When it’s time to breathe my last breath Then on angel’s wings, Lord, bare me up As I drink from the cup of death When it comes to the end of this life for me And I can’t fly of my own accord. Still bare me up on Your angel’s wings Bare me up, to be with You oh, Lord
