FREE EAGLE

By Terry Hackett

1-13-04

High above the evergreens

Where rivers look like streams

Comes now the voice of God your King;

“Free Eagle, spread your wings.”

“Be not afraid to leave behind

 Despairs which tried to bind

 Your vision to an empty nest

 Enter now into my rest.”

“For on my breath you now may fly

 To new horizons your future lies.

 With strength and courage take your place

 Among the many who live by faith.”

“The time is right to now fulfill

 Your deep desires born from my will.

 Set your face into the winds.

 Free Eagle, your journey now begins.”

Here's another great poem from a blog I stumbled upon: A Sacrifice Of Praise

Not The Way I Would Have Chosen

Emily Riley

Though this would not be the way I would have chosen
And the night is often so dark I can’t see.
Even when my heart’s so cold I fear its frozen
This I know, you’re working what is best for me.

Through the valleys and the darkness that we travel
I will follow as you take me by the hand.
When I doubt your care and on this path I stumble
In my weakness on your righteousness I’ll stand.

There are days it seems this trial’s never ending
Yet you’ve promised in my need you will be there.
So I look to you with faith and hope my Savior
Trusting as your Spirit comforts all my cares.

Help me trust you in the darkness,
Help me look to you, My Guide.
Take my fears and give me peace
For you will never leave my side.
