Lyrics

The eagle has fallen into the sea,
Taking the one I love away from me;
Because of his broken wings,
my life has been changed,
And I know that I will never be the same.

The eagle has fallen, fallen from grace,
Leaving a scar so deep, that only God can erase
The pain and the broken hearts
of those who ask why,
Why was this wounded bird unable to fly.

On eagle’s wings, the saints will rise to glory,
On eagle’s wings, with the angels we will sing;
On eagle’s wings, we will run and not be weary,
We shall see the grace of God on eagle’s wings.

The eagle has fallen, flight 491,
That carried our daughter, and carried our sons;
And O what a tragedy, that only one soul survived,
And I thank the Lord each day, that he is alive.

O where shall I go, Lord, to hide from Thee,
If I ascend into heaven, or if I dwell in the sea;
Even there Thou shall keep me in Thy holy sight,
And though the darkness cover me,
the night shall be light.

On eagle’s wings, the saints will rise to glory,
On eagle’s wings, with the angels we will sing;
On eagle’s wings, we will run and not be weary,
We shall see the grace of God on eagle’s wings.
We shall see the grace of God on eagle’s wings.

O where shall I go, Lord, to hide from Thee?
