WINGS

Snippet

Be like the bird who, pausing in her flight awhile on boughs too slight, feels them give way beneath her, and yet sings, knowing she hath wings.  Victor Hugo

Scripture

Look up into the heavens.

    Who created all the stars?

He brings them out like an army, one after another,

    calling each by its name.

Because of his great power and incomparable strength,

    not a single one is missing.

O Jacob, how can you say the Lord does not see your troubles?

    O Israel, how can you say God ignores your rights?

 Have you never heard?

    Have you never understood?

The Lord is the everlasting God,

    the Creator of all the earth.

He never grows weak or weary.

    No one can measure the depths of his understanding.

He gives power to the weak

    and strength to the powerless.

Even youths will become weak and tired,

    and young men will fall in exhaustion.

But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength.

    They will soar high on wings like eagles.

They will run and not grow weary.

    They will walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:26-31 NLT

[Chorus]

Yes I will rise

Out of these ashes rise

From this trouble I have found

And this rubble on the ground

I will rise

Cause He Who is in me

Is greater than I will ever be

And I will rise

Sometimes my heart is on the ground

And hope is nowhere to be found

Love is a figment I once knew

And yet I hold on to what I know is true

[Chorus]

Yes I will rise

Out of these ashes rise

From this trouble I have found

And this rubble on the ground

I will rise

Cause He Who is in me

Is greater than I will ever be

And I will rise

Well I keep on coming to this place

That I don't know quite how to face

So I lay down my life in hopes to die

That somehow I might rise

[Chorus]

Yes I will rise

Out of these ashes rise

From this trouble I have found

And this rubble on the ground

I will rise

Cause He Who is in me

Is greater than I will ever be

And I will rise

Sentence Prayer

Father;  Maker of tiny wings of a hummingbird and the mighty wings of an eagle.  Father when the arrows fly let me fly to you.  Protect and care for me as I rest in your hollow.  Renew me so I may not lose my life in pettiness.  Help me to wait upon the Lord, so I can navigate the winds of this life.  Amen! R.M
