Mount Up With Eagles

When life seems so dreary and burdened with care,

As clouds of dread darkness breathe out black despair,

Dear soul, take fresh courage, look up, and behold:

For Jesus has planned you a future untold.

Wait now on the Lord and your strength He’ll renew,

As on eagle wings you shall mount and take view

Of ev’ry bright promise which through the clouds beam,

As sunbeams of hope on your sordid life gleam.

He hears you above all your pain and dark past,

As each painful heartache on Him you now cast:

For He is the Healer of sad, broken hearts-

It’s here that His infinite plan for you starts!

So as with the eagles you mount up so high,

Give Christ ev’ry anguish that makes your heart cry:

For as you are borne near the Savior’s own breast,

He works within you to bring healing and rest.

He brings you a freedom and healing complete,

As all you surrender and lay at His feet;

The tatters of heart-break and strands of dark pain

He blends with bright gold of most infinite gain.

And then He equips you by His grace divine,

To soar still with eagles and says “Child, you’re Mine;

You shall not grow faint when I walk by your side:

For I’ll light your path and so near will abide!”

-Keturah
