With Eagle’s Wings

Categories: Holy Spirit, Peace

I stand secure upon a branch
Waiting to fly away
I think to myself
If I flap a bit
With a little more effort
I’ll prove myself
I will not fall
Rise above it all.

But God says “No”
Stop flapping, flapping
To make things happen
Open your wings
Wait for the uplift
The Spirit brings.
Surrender yourself
You will spiritually fly
Above the mist into the sky
Will then have my perspective.

You are free to fly
Move off your branch
Yield to me
Be uplifted.
By the Spirit’s energy
Working in you
You will quickly soar
To higher realms
To hover above
And by faith and love
Understand the hope
Stored up for you in heaven.

Living like this
You will find
God’s knowledge and wisdom
Have peace of mind
Pleasing God in every way
Bearing fruit day after day
Being strengthened
With His glorious might
Have endurance and patience
Joyful delight
To share with the saints
In God’s kingdom of light.

Colossians 1:3-6 & 9-14
