Bear us on eagles' wings,
Lord, lest we faint,
Far, far from groveling things,
Purge from their taint.
Jesus of Calvary,
Draw us to run after thee,
Hold us to walk with Thee,
Walk, and not faint.
by Amy Carmichael, from Edges of His Ways
Note: Today is Ash Wednesday and, therefore, the beginning of the season of Lent. On Ash Wednesday, we are reminded that we are dust and to dust we will return. This is a good reminder so we will strive to live each day to the glory of God. It is God who will purge us; He will bear us on eagles' wings. He leads us into this time of repentance and cleansing. He draws us and holds us, and we will advance on the pilgrim's way in His strength.
