Story behind the song
The idea for this song came from an experience that a friend of mine had. She was walking along a country road one day, when she saw a large bird in the bottom of a road ditch with tall weeds. The bird was struggling to get out of the ditch by trying to move forward and flapping its wings. It seemed, however, that because of the tall weeds and high banks the bird couldn’t spread its wings enough to get airborne. It gave this friend of mine a picture of a struggle- to fly and be free. The banks of the ditch are like walls. Sometimes we put up our own walls. Or the Enemy brings discouragement or any of his other devices to bring us down. We struggle so much on our own when all we really need to do is cry out to the Lord to lift us up. Lord we want to fly! Isaiah 40:31 Romans 8:1
Lyrics
Eagle’s Wings by Charlie Stone They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings as eagles. I want to be walking, I want to be running, without growing weary, but what I’m really wanting is to fly. What I’m really wanting, what I’m really wanting is to fly. Lord I know I can fly, my wings are not broken. And I know that on my own I cannot ascend. So I wait on You and trust in the words You’ve spoken. Then I arise in the power of Your spirit wind. Lift me high! Lift me high! Let me fly! Let me fly! I will not be held down by the powers of the Devil, or the condemnation that he always brings. Lord, in my worship take me to a higher level. Lift me up to soar on eagle’s wings! Lift me high! Lift me high! Let me fly! Let me fly! ©1997 Charlie Stone
