When the race still lies before me

And the wind is blowing strong

When the witnesses surround me

And my strength is almost gone

When the valley plunges deeper

And life shatters all my dreams

Then I lift my voice to Jesus

And He gives my spirit wings

God gives wings as eagles

God gives wings to fly and strength to rise above

God gives wings as eagles

When my feet begin to stumble

And my dreams begin to crumble

I mount up on eagle’s wings

Let us run the race with patience

Let us lay each weight aside

Looking only unto Jesus

He will be our faithful Guide

He has run the race before us

He has won the victor’s crown

And He calls to every Christian

“Follow Me to higher ground”
