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
