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
But as an eagle
Stirreth her nest
So that her young ones
Will have no rest
God in His own
Mysterious way
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
But as an eagle
Stirreth her nest
So that her young ones
Will have no rest
God in His own
Mysterious way
Stirs up His people
To watch and pray
God stirreth the world
In Noah's day
He sent a flood
To wash them away
He stirreth Moses
At the burning bush
He stirreth
