Upon The Wings Of An Eagle !

Upon the Wings of an Eagle, are we able to soar,
High in the heavens daily, each day more and more,
Upon the Wings of an Eagle, are we able to daily ascend,
In our weakness so strengthened, by Jesus Christ our Friend.
Upon the Wings of an Eagle, unbound and truly free,
Are we able to climb upward, high into the Heavenlies,
Upon the Wings of an Eagle, are we able to fly,
No longer weighed down and soaring high in the sky.
Upon the Wings of an Eagle, upon the wind of God's Grace,
Are we able to soar in the heavens, amidst all we so face,
Upon the Wings of an Eagle, are we able to so do,
Yes soar in the heavens daily, amidst all we go through.
No longer weighed down, nor constrained, but now free
As we soar on the Wings of an Eagle, for all eternity,
Now free forevermore, no matter what may come our way,
As upon the Wings of an Eagle, we soar in the heavens each day.

Along Every Road We Journey !

Along every road we each do journey,
Upon every hill we climb,
We can rest in knowing that Lord,
You're with us all the time.
To guide and lead us daily on
As we by faith look unto You,
To strengthen us when we're too weak
To face what we're going through.
To guide our steps along life's path
When to see it is so hard,
As You train our feet like hinds feet
And daily be our guard.
Against the dangers often lurking
Along life's winding path each day,
And that at times are hard to see
As we journey along the way.
So Lord we want to thank You
For being with us wherever we go,
To guide our steps in our daily walk
As we each in time do grow.

As Lord !

As Lord to the rising sun I peer
I rest in knowing that You are ever near,
Even when darkness does so abound
All is still with barely a sound.
As Lord I look on at the break of day
I marvel and wonder, what can I say,
And also my Lord what can I do
To express my love, my deep thanks to You.
For all that my Lord, You've done for me
Having opened my eyes that I might see,
That You are indeed my Dearest Friend
Each day my Lord from beginning to end.
Who walks with me each step of life's way
Close by my side from day to day,
Strengthened by You when I can no longer stand
Guided in my steps as I hold onto Your Hand.

I thank You Lord that You saw fit to do
To open my eyes that I might see You,
And come to realise You're my Lord and King
My Saviour, my Friend, my everything.
When my Lord I myself was once lost
I came to realise that You indeed paid the cost,
So long ago when upon Calvary
You died that I, from death would be free.
Free for evermore, yes for eternity to come
As to You O Lord, You so draw me home,
Like the Prodigal Son who once was lost too
Drawn to dwell in the Heavens with You.
So My Lord I marvel as You embrace
Me in Your Arms, Your Amazing Grace,
Your Mercy and Truth as You walk beside me each day
In my life's journey each step of the way.

Well With My Soul !

Indeed it is well, truly well with my soul
For through You my Jesus Christ I am made whole,
For I who once thought I needed so much
Found I lacked nothing when me You did touch.
With Your Hands of Love stretched out to me
To lift me up and so set me free,
I came to realise that Lord through Your Amazing Grace
I could meet every need I would so come to face.
As I by faith put all my trust in You
You would help me to see each day through,
Even when Lord the day is hard to bear
You would give me the enabling as for me You care.
I thank You my Lord that indeed this is so
That You're with me always wherever I go,
As my closest companion, my dearest friend
Who walks with me daily from beginning to end.

Tomorrow We'll Know !

What tomorrow will bring, in time we'll know,
Then and only then, will its fruit show,
We can strive and worry, yet what will that do,
Except make us anxious, amidst all we go through.
Or we can rest in the Hands, of our Lord God above,
Embraced, on our life's journey, in His Arms of Love.
Trusting daily in Him, to so be our guide,
To strengthen us daily, as in Him we abide.
As we walk on in faith, in Him day by day,
Trusting He's ever with us, each step of the way,
Yes trusting He is with us and will always be
Walking ever close by our sides, yes beside you and me.

Except Lord !

Except Lord it be by Your Holy Spirit
How could we ever each so enter in,
Into that place to where we've been invited
By You our Saviour, our Lord and our King.
For in ourselves Lord as indeed You well know
There is so much to hinder our walk each day,
From us entering into that place with You
As so much seems to so draw us away.
So often we find that we are far too busy
To give time or thought to or about You,
For how in Your Love You died for our sin
And set as free as we believe You did do.
Yet when we've been hindered and drawn away
We have found our needs are inadequately met,
When we have sought to so face them alone
We have found that by ourselves we were but inept.
Please so help us Lord to be wise with our time
To never be too busy in in life in any way,
To meditate on You and on all You have done
And Your promises Dear Lord we humbly pray.
