Verse 1

He saved Moses from the Egyptians,
Rescued David from the giant and the bear.
He’s carried me on His eagle’s wings
And brought me to this place.

Verse 2

He carries me over the valleys
And He guards me like His flock.
He bears me safely on His wings
And hides me in the Rock.

Refrain

He makes me ride on the mountains,
He holds me safely in His arms.
He gives me peace for my uncertainty
And frees me from the stronghold of death.
(Repeat as desired)

Verse 3

I’m born by the power of the Spirit,
I’m loosed from my enemies.
I’m soaring high into the sky,
Safe on eagle’s wings.

Verse 4

No weapon formed against me shall prosper,
I’m protected from the enemy’s plans.
I abide there safely beneath His wings,
Hidden in His hands.
