When Eagles Fly------Again

The master created me to fly on high Way up there, a speck to the sight I take my perch on the highest branch Of the tallest cedar closest to the sky I did what he said, followed his every command The flight was easier and swifter as I rose closer to the Son As always the young ones I carried on my wings And just this once, a few other things….. It got so heavy, my focus was gone So was my worship, so was my song I had to come down, the painful descend “A few other things” may cost my end Like a broken clay jar, I lay on the side Not able to complete the task I’ve been assigned Because of things embraced not my own How can I forget that these I must cast down? The master created me to fly on high Way up there, a speck to the sight I take my perch on the highest branch Of the tallest cedar closest to the sky I know who I am and even though it hurts Some things must die for a new birth More than a few around and a few inside When this is done, I’ll be able to rise I’ve given Him all for all is His I’m not weaker but stronger still The balm was applied and a mark you may see Now renewed and refreshed I ascend to thee When eagles fly again, its with a stronger will They rise so must higher and keep pressing in When Eagles fly again, when eagles fly again Its with greater intensity in spite of the pain God is calling me higher and higher still Its about His will and His will and His will Chains are broken, I’m transformed within When eagles fly again, when eagles fly again
