As an Eagle

As an Eagle
by
Rev. Lonnie C. Crowe

Driving swiftly down the highway
In the heat of middle summer,
I saw him in the distance
And slowed to view him as I passed.

A golden eagle
Holding dominion over the
Wind-swept Wyoming plain.

Regal, majestic, powerful--
The feathered sovereign
Of tor and tableland.

The words of the prophet
Sang in my heart--
"They that wait upon the Lord
Shall renew their strength,
They shall mount up with wings
As Eagles."

Oh, Lord, may I wait upon You,
That You might renew my strength
To mount up with golden-eagle-wings
To overcome the world.
