Psalm 24:1
The earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof;
the world and they that dwell therein.
Eagles Flight
Contained in earthen vessels,
these spirits that should soar
above the earth as eagles-
whose flight my heart adores.
Transparent thoughts do take me,
along on eagle's flight,
to see the mighty workings
of God on plains of light.
With flesh and blood unable
to reach the mountain top,
my spirit reaches onward
toward height beyond the top.
For no bounds knows my spirit,
ev'n though now it's contained
in an earthen vessel fitted,
while this journey yet remains.
ajbb 1978
2 Corinthians 4:7
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels,
that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
