As an Eagle Stirreth Her Nest · letra

So often men are blessed With prosperity The goodness and mercy of God They no longer see They seem to say within Thy soul take thine ease And they turn away from God And do just as they please
Chorus: But as an eagle Stirreth her nest So that her young ones Will have no rest God in His onw Mysterious ways Stirs up His people To watch and pray
It's tragic that we are So soon to forget To our God we are So deeply in debt We grow so careless And we grow so unconcerned The first thing that we know The scales have been turned
Repeat Chorus
God stirreth the world In Noah's day He sent a flood To wash them away He stirreth Moses At the burning bush And then sent him down To the land of Gush He stirreth Babylon At Belshazzar's Ball By sending a hand To write on the wall He used Ezekiel When he was all alone To stir up a valley Full of old dry bones Lord they got up And began to dance around Well, one of theses mornings One of these mornings One of these mornings One of these mornings Well, one of these mornings There's gonna be a shock Lord, this old world Is gonna reel and rock
God in His own Mysterious way Stirreth His people To watch and pray
