Lyrics
The tears stream down her face onto the cold hospital bed Just like a prisoner between four ugly walls The fear she can't control is running rampant in her head With every day she spent just waiting for that call And I will never leave her side We walk the tightrope between faith and fear Each moment of our lives But then the darkest hour of night is turned to day Another miracle, another act unfolding in this play And I'm blown away

The wine overflows, and my cup runneth over again My thankfulness grows with these blessings I can't comprehend

You raise my spirit to the sky above to fly away To fly on eagles' wings You life the fallen back on high again to coronate The King above all Kings All honor All glory Raised to Your Majesty on eagles' wings

I looked him in the eye and played those words over and over in my mind But that can't be what he just said I heard it for myself and know that life can be unkind But can't you see I'm much too young to lose my dad? But I'm blown away

When you laugh at the odds for the doctor's cannot know your plans (I'm blown away) You hold the keys to all life and death and all time in your hands

You raise my spirit to the sky above to fly away To fly on eagles' wings You life the fallen back on high again to coronate The King above all Kings All honor All glory Raised to Your Majesty on eagles' wings

Every tribe and every nation (Life your voices and sing) [Life a song of praise on high on eagles' wings] All in heaven, all creation Let the tongues of men and angels (Lift your voices and sing) [Let your heart reach to the sky on eagles' wings] All ye blessed, all ye thankful, sing!

You raise my spirit to the sky above to fly away To fly on eagles' wings You life the fallen back on high again to coronate The King above all Kings All honor All glory Raised to Your Majesty on eagles' wings
