On Wings Like Eagles
by Benjamin Graber We hate to wait, Frustrated at the merest waste Of time; forgetting that a second Of mere appreciation is worth A thousand spent in frantic haste We hate to wait, And seek fulfillment of our dreams This very moment, naming love The zenith of our selfishness, Not fathoming what patience means But we must wait To rush into the plans weve made Is often to abandon Christ As He is forging greater dreams We would have seen if we had stayed Yes, we must wait, Accepting patiences delays We must not leap into the dark Or even take a step ahead Unless its love that shows the way And if we wait The Spirit shows us what to do, Illuminates the path for us, Revealing His amazing plans: His dreams, now ours, are coming true Well mount on wings like eagles And soar like condors in the sky What more could we desire on earth? We rise in heights of love and joy; Tis Gods own hand that makes us fly My greatest desire as a poet is to inspire the reader to follow Christ more closely, love more deeply, or experience joy more fully.
