My Skyward Look

My soul is like an eagle.  This is not its home.  It must never lose its skyward look.  I must keep faith, I must keep hope, I must keep courage, I must keep Christ.  It would be better to crawl immediately from the battlefield than to not be brave.  There is no time for my soul to retreat.  Keep your skyward look, my soul; keep your skyward look! (Streams in the desert by L.B. Cowman)

Keep looking up

the waves that roar around your feet,

Jehovah-Jireh will defeat

When looking up.

Keep looking up

Though darkness seems to wrap your soul;

The Light of Light will fill your soul

When looking up.

Keep looking up

When worn, distracted with the fight;

Your Captain gives you conquering might 

When you look up.

We can never see the sunrise by looking toward the west. Japanese Proverb
