Hillsong - Eagle's Wings Lyrics

Eagle's Wings is a prayer for the presence of God to fill the singer's life. The verse says the singer is waiting and longing, asks to abide in Him, to be hidden in His love, brought to the knees and to know Jesus more and more. The chorus asks Him to come live in and breathe in the singer, taking over all of life, with the promise to rise on eagles' wings.

The eagle image comes from Isaiah 40:31, where those who wait on the Lord renew their strength and mount up with wings like eagles. The abiding language reflects John 15:4-5, and the longing to know Christ more fits Philippians 3:10. Because the lyrics are brief and repeated, the song gives room for waiting and prayer rather than narrative, and the final repeated lines about rising on eagles' wings give it an expectant close.
