On the wings of an eagle we will rise

On the wings of an eagle we will rise
For our hope is found
In the power of God
On the wings of an eagle we will rise

For the Lord who is God
Takes his people home
Not to be afraid
As we journey the road
Hand in Hand we’ll be walking
With the Lord our God
On the wings of an eagle we will rise.
From Isaiah 40:31
