Gord Lang - Rise Up Like the Eagle Lyrics

It's another Monday morning and you dread the thought of rising
While you wonder where you'll find strength to face what waits along the way
You won't have to fear the mountain as it rises up before you
If you linger in His presence for a while before you start the day

Then you'll rise up like the eagle with the valley far below you
You shall run and not grow weary from the race to capture heaven's prize
As you walk along the pathway there will be no thought of fainting
While you're reaching for the promise of life that is set before your eyes
(If you could see the Promise of Life - that it's right before your eyes)
(It's the Promise of Life and it's right before your eyes)

Scenes of yesterday's disasters fill the windows of your mem'ry
While you wrestle with the instinct to hide in the shelter of your mind
But you're drawn to Living Waters and the promise of refreshing
Where you revel in His presence and delight in the blessings that you find

Now concern about tomorrow draws imagination's panic
There's so much that's still uncertain with all of the plans that must be made
But you need to leave your worries with the One who knows the future
Let the Tree of Life sustain you each day as you rest beneath its shade
