The Story Behind the Song
One weekend, I was a Team Member helping to serve on a “Walk to Emmaus” and one of the pastors preached about being “filled up,” so that NOTHING else could flow out of me but God. I immediately wrote this Chorus, but then this song just sat in my notebook for about 3 years! It was only when I started to realize that I needed to share my struggles with God too, that I was able to finish the song & feel like I could soar again!
“On Your Wings” by Randall Everitt
When I’m down, I lose my confidence.
I know that You’re with me, why doesn’t it make sense?
You say that in Your Word, Lord, “No one can be against me.”
What else do I need, to convince me?
Fill me up, so there’s no doubt!
All my life is Yours, Lord. Don’t let me leave You out.
Strengthen me,
So I can do all things,
And fly like an eagle, on Your wings
Let me fly like an eagle, on Your wings.
I fall to temptation so many times.
I try to tell myself, Lord, “It’s not a major crime.”
Each time I let You down, I deny Your glory.
I can’t make excuses. You know the whole story
I hope that it’s not too late for me.
I think I need Your help, Lord, to make me see.
That I am depending too much on me.
But I’m ready now, Lord, take all of me!
Fill me up, so there’s no doubt!
All my life is Yours, Lord. Don’t let me leave You out.
Strengthen me,
So I can do all things,
And fly like an eagle, on Your wings
Let me fly like an eagle, on Your wings.
Fill me up, so there’s no doubt!
All my life is Yours, Lord. Don’t let me leave You out.
Strengthen me,
So I can do all things,
and fly like an eagle, on Your wings
Let me fly like an eagle, on Your wings.
I want to fly like an eagle, on Your wings!
