Eagle's Nest
Miles away from home to a place of thorns and thistles,
Gone for a purpose to be gained for Father’s glory.
I hear my Homeland guiding me from all the whistles
‘Til I am with the Wings that kept when I was weary.
From a distance, its Voice calls for the depths of my soul
While all the angels in their songs keep me uplifted
In thoughts of grace through the times and seasons as they roll,
And in merry stanzas of what Inspiration said.
To soar above storms when strength flies with me in the air
Until on the Rock a rainbow says it is done
After all past memories to face a new affair
Then say to my spirit that I will always go on.
I take wing for love and life as I cleave to the Heart
That carved and gave this world to me then guided the way.
Now all I have inside is the mission of my part
As I keep soaring above all forms of life and clay.
No reason to look back or to be selfish in this
For there is a reward waiting me after the quest.
In the everlasting skies, there is a golden bliss
Where I will be ever found glad in the Eagle’s Nest.
