When I began my poetry, one of the first images I had of God's mighty strength was that of an eagle. I find eagles are very majestic, strong, bold and have a really great sense of sight, like our Lord. Some days I feel like I'm flying high in the sky on His wings, while other days I feel like I'm on my own. I never fear because I know if I fall He will be there to catch me. So tonight's poem is: Wings of My Eagle. This was written very early in my walk and I had not known the book of Isaiah. Little did I know this same idea is found in Isaiah 40:31 But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on the wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
Wings of My Eagle
With the wings of my Eagle I will fly
Without fear through the sky
As long as I have My God to hold
My heart will soar and will hurt no more
For my Lord is with me even in my slumbers
‘Till I awaken
and through my days when I grow old
and through my days when I grow old
He will carry me over the mountains
glide me through the valleys as I grow weary
glide me through the valleys as I grow weary
Yet when I am strong,
He’ll let me stretch my wings to the ends of the earth
He’ll let me stretch my wings to the ends of the earth
Hang on tight will I
As I soar through the sky
when I’ve flown to far and can fly no more
On His Mighty wing I will rest
There I will stay until the dawn of a new day
When He shall spread His wings
And let me fly on His wings
Without fear through the sky
With the wings of My Eagle I do fly.
I don't remember reading this one before. This is beautiful. Keep em coming.
ReplyDeleteI like the short lines, they form a narrative all their own. Good job, keep em coming
