This song was inspired by Brother Branham’s observations of how an eagle
flies so effortlessly, and comparing this to our ideal Christian experience.
Sometimes, we understand Faith as something that belief turns into if we can
just get our knuckles white enough. But faith is a gift, like so many other
things, and it is obtained by yielding. I thought of this song while working
a substitute Custodial shift at a public school. The writing of the song was
as effortless as the message it conveys. I sat down for break, and having
nothing to write on, scratched the lyrics out on a paper towel. It was nearly
done within the span of a 15 minute break. I continued to meditate on it for
the rest of the shift. While driving home, the music came to me. I like what
Jeremy and Leanne Waldner, John Briner, and the choir did with the song. Once
I handed it over to them, I never heard it again until they sang it at
church.
