Hillsong Worship – Eagle’s Wings

Soaring on Eagle’s Wings with Hillsong Worship

Hillsong Worship’s “Eagle’s Wings” is a song that beautifully captures the sense of freedom, strength, and divine elevation that comes from trusting in God’s unwavering love and faithfulness. From their 2020 album Take Heart (MMXX), “Eagle’s Wings” invites believers to rise above life’s challenges and to soar with the strength and vision that God provides. The song serves as a powerful reminder of God’s promise to lift us up when we are weak, and to carry us through the storms of life.

Drawing inspiration from the imagery of eagles soaring high in the sky, the song’s central theme focuses on the renewal and empowerment that comes from God’s presence. The eagle is often used in Scripture as a symbol of strength, resilience, and divine protection, and in this song, Hillsong Worship applies this imagery to the believer’s spiritual journey. As the eagle spreads its wings to soar above the storms, so do believers find strength in God to rise above the difficulties and challenges they face in life.

In the opening lines, the song declares:

“Here I am waiting, Abide in me, I pray / Here I am longing for You.”

These lyrics set the tone for a song that is all about surrender, trust, and longing for God’s presence. The song opens with a heart of anticipation and humility, acknowledging that we can do nothing apart from God. In this position of trust and waiting, God’s strength is made perfect in our weakness, much like the eagle relies on the wind to carry it higher.

One of the most powerful images in “Eagle’s Wings” is the metaphor of soaring on wings like an eagle. The Bible frequently uses this imagery to describe God’s care and provision for His people. Isaiah 40:31 says, “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”

In the song, Hillsong Worship draws on this passage to remind believers that God renews our strength when we place our trust in Him. The chorus beautifully captures this promise:

“I will rise on eagle’s wings / Before You, I will sing.”

This line is a powerful declaration of faith, affirming that when we put our hope in God, He lifts us up from despair, renews our strength, and helps us rise above our circumstances. Just as an eagle soars effortlessly above the storms, God helps us transcend the struggles of life, enabling us to experience His peace and joy.

“Eagle’s Wings” is a song that speaks to both the strength and the hope that comes from being in God’s presence. The soaring imagery of the eagle provides a vivid picture of how God can lift us above our troubles and empower us to live in victory. The song invites believers to embrace the strength that comes from God’s love, knowing that no matter how difficult life becomes, God is always there to renew, uplift, and carry us through.

As the song builds, it calls listeners to worship and to trust in the power of God’s promises. It’s a reminder that we do not have to face life’s challenges alone. Just as the eagle soars with the wind beneath its wings, we too can soar with the strength of God’s presence, confident that He will never leave us nor forsake us.

“Eagle’s Wings” is a song that inspires believers to rise above their fears, challenges, and struggles by trusting in the strength and elevation that only God can provide. It’s a reminder that God is always with us, lifting us up when we feel weary, and empowering us to soar on the wings of His love.

Whether you are experiencing a season of triumph or facing a difficult journey, “Eagle’s Wings” offers a beautiful reminder that God’s faithfulness and strength are available to you. Trust in Him, and like the eagle, you will rise above your circumstances, finding peace, strength, and hope in His presence.

So let “Eagle’s Wings” be a declaration in your life today. As you surrender to God’s will and trust in His ability to elevate you, you can rest assured that He will carry you through, helping you soar higher than you ever thought possible.

Lyrics: Hillsong Worship – Eagle’s Wings

Here I am waiting, abide in me, I pray
Here I am longing for You
Hide me in Your love, bring me to my knees
May I know Jesus more and more

Come live in me all my life, take over
Come breathe in me, I will rise on eagle’s wings
Come live in me all my life, take over
Come breathe in me, I will rise on eagle’s wings

Here I am waiting, abide in me, I pray
Here I am longing for You
Hide me in Your love, bring me to my knees
May I know Jesus more and more

Come live in me all my life, take over
Come breathe in me, I will rise on eagle’s wings
Come live in me all my life, take over
Come breathe in me, I will rise on eagle’s wings

Come live in me all my life, take over
Come breathe in me, I will rise on eagle’s wings

I will rise on eagle’s wings, I will rise on eagle’s wings (x3)

On eagle’s wings
