An eagle doesn’t take the air

by trying not to fall,

but graciously pursues the task,

high above it all.

By using what’s provided

he fullfills the law of lift,

pursues his food or builds a nest

on wings both strong and swift.

So how can we expect to see

a victory over sin,

if we go through life with eyes upon

the mortal ills within,

instead of fixing firmly

our eyes upon His face,

pursuing God through faith and trust,

our wings His gifts of grace.
