Lyrics:
I'm feeling like the eagle that rises
Flies above the earth and its troubles
Oh yes he knows that there are valleys below
But under his wings there's a stronger power
Oh Father- You are my strength
On You I wait upon
Chorus:
You make the road rise up to meet me
You make the sun shine warm upon my face
The wind is at my back and the rain falls soft
God I lift You high- You are my Abba
Running on this road to the finish line
The only road for me is the narrow
Not gonna stop or even look to the side
When I fix my eyes on You Jesus
Oh Father (Abba)- You are my strength
Now more than ever
Chorus
Repeat

Behind the Song:
'In Israel, one of the first words
little Jewish boys say is 'Abba' (Daddy).
As this song was being written,
I found this verse: 'You received the
spirit of sonship. And by him we cry
'Abba, Father'... we are God's children.' (Romans 8:15,16-- NIV)' - Rebecca St. James
