Rise Up Like the Eagle

A Father's Promise

These songs are from my latest album that was just released in November 2010. I pray that you will be blessed as you listen

I have loved you since before the day I first laid eyes on you

When you nestled in the comfort of my arms

And I promised you that very day that I would shelter you

From the troubles of this world and all its harms

And this love I have for you – it will never cease to be

It doesn't matter where life's pathway leads you on

Because there's nothing you could ever do to make the promise void

It's a promise that's renewed with every dawn

Even when the disappointments come – as they will surely do

From the pain there is no where you can hide

I will always be a resting place where you can be restored

From the fury of the storm and raging tide

For the world in which you live – shows no mercy to the weak

You know the wounded of this life they throw away

But when I see the sparrow fall and I notice where he lands

That's the same way that I care for you each day

So why are you concerned about the things you cannot change

I've recorded every hair upon your head

Just consider how I clothe you like the lilies of the field

And each morning I provide your daily bread

You will never have a care that escapes My watchful eye

You will never have a need I can't provide

Though the whole world might abandon you and leave you all alone

When you want me I'll be standing by your side
