Eagles Fly
Michael W. Smith · Healing Rain [2004]
Hope has come, renewed my strength
I have found what I did seek
And I'm ready to fly
All forgiven, all forgot
Heaven waits beyond the plot
Swing low, sweet chariot
Yes, I'm ready to fly
Father come to save my soul
Father come to make me whole
There was a price, he paid the toll
That gave me freedom to fly
And every battle, every war
You will be my shield and my sword
You know, I'm waiting on you Lord
You'd give me freedom to fly
Watch the eagles fly
Gonna set your feet on high
On the wind like a dove
Go on and fly
In the shadow of love
Fly, fly, gonna fly
Watch the eagles fly
He's gonna set your feet on high
On the wind like a dove
That go on and fly
In the shadow of love
Yeah, in the shadow of love
Yes, I'm watching you fly
He set your feet on high
On the wind like a dove
That go on and fly
Tow'rds shadow of love
