I’ve been busy lately and haven’t had much time for songwriting but here is a new song that I wrote back on August 26 that I finally had a chance to video! This song was inspired mostly by Isaiah 40:28-31 after helping our Portland To Coast team this year. I walked last year but due to an injury I was along as moral support and official photographer this year to cheer on my wife and our baby-to-be! This is a song about relying on God’s strength to help us on this path of life, he gives us wings like eagles and lifts us up with his strength when we are weary! He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. —Isaiah 40:29-31 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. —1 Corinthians 9:24-25 Lyrics: Wings Some days the road I’m on seems Littered with stones and thorns They try to trip me up and break my stride But now I’m wise to their wily ways I won’t be caught off guard No, gonna run this race to win the prize Wings, oh wings, you give me wings My feet they fly It’s just as if I could reach up, touch the sky Wings, oh wings, you give me wings Like eagles fly You give strength to the weary No I’ll never grow, never grow tired As I walk through the Valley Of the Shadow of Death I’m worn out From grief and shame and brokenness Still you’re right there beside me For you’ve walked this road before So you know where all the potholes are Even youths grow tired and weary Young men they stumble and they fall But those who put their hope in you Will renew their strength No, they will never faint So I will run and not grow weary I will walk and not be faint Isaiah 40:28-31; Isaiah 41:10; Hebrews 4:14-16; Hebrews 12:1-3 Psalm 23; Philippians 3:12-14; 1 Corinthians 9:24-27; 2 Timothy 4:7-8; Acts 20:24 Copyright © 2014 Dawson Cowals. https://youtube/watch?v=96zNJ1aoSrM&list=PL0B6101DA0A6660B1
