Where Eagles Soar

Where Eagles Soar 
                        *  Isaiah 40:28-31
I view the news and read the paper 
And observe so much animosity 
The chain effect then seems to be -
It gives birth to hostility
 
I often shudder with dismay 
But when the Bible, I explore
I'm reminded of Cain and Abel
As recorded in Genesis four

With greed and hatred in the heart
What more can we expect
This tragic account is an example
Of results, - if God's way we reject

If I fail to look beyond this strife
And immerse myself in the fray
On the horizon, all I see is gloom 
It’s a recipe, - for doomsday 

But in the pages of God's Word 
I find a promise I can claim  * 
When evil forces are unleashed
There is victory, - in His Name

Anchored in Him, I climb above
To the plane where eagles soar
That will buoy me through this life
And usher me, into Heaven's door

Thanks Kim, for commenting ! I'm grateful it served a purpose. For me, this is what it is all about. I have observed some of your compositions, and I relate to the rhyme and style us use. May God ever bless your efforts for Him! Colan
