An Eagle with a Broken Wing

  Like an eagle with a broken wing,

I cannot soar above,

For I am grounded by my fate -

a prisoner of love.

I did not choose the path I trod

for heavy is the load,

But I have faith and trust my God

to help me down the road.

I must take the "road less traveled"

to do my Master's will,

And bear the thorn within my side

which leads to Calvary's hill.

Now I must follow in His steps

because He first chose me

Like an eagle with a broken wing

striving to breathe free.

But they that hope in the

Lord shall renew their strength,

they shall mount up with wings as eagles...

Isai. 40:31
