“But those who hope in Jehovah will regain power. They will soar on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary; they will walk and not tire.”
About this song
A progressive-house anthem of strength when weary. Opens with Isaiah 40:26 ("Lift up your eyes to heaven and see who has created these things"), builds through verses 28-30 about the One who never grows tired, and lands on Isaiah 40:31's promise that those who hope in Jehovah will soar on wings like eagles. Closes with Psalm 19:1 — the heavens declaring Jehovah's glory.

Intro
soft ambient pads, whispered scripture
Isaiah forty, verse twenty-six…
Lift up your eyes to heaven and see…
Who has created these things?
Lift up your eyes…
Lift up your eyes…
First Build
kick in slow, sub-bass pulses, breathy vocal
I have been so tired
I have been so weary
But I lifted up my eyes
And I saw the heavens
And I remembered who created
Every star, every breath, every light
Comes from the One who never grows tired
Who never grows weary
Jehovah…
First Drop
full progressive house, massive synth lead, vocal soars
Soar on wings like eagles
Those who hope in Jehovah
Will regain their power
They will rise, they will fly
They will not grow weary
They will not grow tired
Lift up your eyes
Breakdown
kick drops out, pad and piano, intimate vocal, building tension
He gives power to the tired one
He gives might to the one without strength
Even young men grow weary
Even strong men stumble and fall
But those who hope in Jehovah
Will regain their power
Will soar on wings like eagles
Will run and not grow weary
Will walk and not grow faint
Second Drop
massive, key modulation, festival-scale, choir layers
Soar on wings like eagles
Those who hope in Jehovah
Will regain their power
They will rise, they will fly
The heavens declare the glory of God
The works of His hands
Outro
piano and vocal, reflective, cosmic closing
Psalm nineteen, verse one…
The heavens declare the glory of God
The skies above proclaim the work of His hands
There is no speech, no words
Yet their message has gone out
Into all the earth
Jehovah, Creator of the ends of the earth…
He never tires, He never grows weary
And those who hope in Him
Those who hope in Him
