On Eagle's Wings by Kathleen Higham

Rising oh so high I hear the angels sing The softest feathers comfort me Nestled on the eagle's wing. A peace that I have never known When to the heavens, I see My Father smiling down so sweet As He reaches out for me. The eagle sets me gently down In my Father's arms, I cry His tears will wash away my pain His heart brings forth a sigh. The eagle looks to his Master Then gracefully flies away Another soul waits unbeknown To meet the Lord this day. Rising oh so high Through the clouds, a thunder My heart cries out to be with Him How long must I wait and wonder? The eagle has become my friend He tips his wings to say: "I am watching over you" Then blessed me on my way. When it is time, he'll come But not to say hello Swooping down, he lifts me up To my Savior I will go. Rising up on eagle's wings No longer weary shall I roam Soaring, soaring through the sky The eagle takes me home…
