Title: Where The Eagle Rests His Wings
Post by: Chrisle on January 03, 2013, 05:09:05 PM
A poem I wrote.  Thought you might like to read.

                    Where The Eagle Rests His Wings

Lord I want to reach the mountain top
Where the eagle rests his wings.
With victory over the valley low,
To rejoice as my heart sings.
Jesus, you are my dearest friend,
None other can I find.
Lord, give me a mountain that I can climb.
I know the mountains rough with edges oh so sharp.
I know there's deep dark caverns lined with fiery darts.
There's a cleft there of loneliness----------still,
Lord, give me a mountain if it be your will.
The mountain stands firm, slippery and steep,
My eyes are fixed on the tallest peak,
Up on the summit where the sun always shines.
Lord, give me this mountain and help me to climb.
FAITH grows on top of the mountain,
HOPE grasps its rugged sides.
JOY rains down upon her,
And my soul and spirit sing.
Lord, I want to reach the mountain top,
Where the eagle rests his wings.
