Lyrics
The mother eagle
Text: Arlene Pourroy
Scripture reference Deut. 32:9-13
Composer: Ross D. Harrington
As the mother eagle bears her young on wings
Sees the way above the earthly view of things
So God leads and lifts us free lifts us free from all that harms
Lifts us free
For underneath are always the everlasting arms
For underneath are always the everlasting arms
We are all God’s children never left alone
He who taught the eagle holds and loves His own
So God leads and lifts us free lifts us free from all that harms
Lifts us free
For underneath are always the everlasting arms
For underneath are always the everlasting arms
When the darkness threatens, the eagle nests her brood
High in flinty rock above the babbling flood
She guards her children hid from mortal view
Hid from view
For as the mother eagle, God is keeping you
For as the mother eagle, God is keeping you
