Great song! Thanks for the video. The design of God's Creation truly is, after the Bible itself, an astounding witness to God's existence, though there will always be stubborn unbelief which rejects all greater authority. Many people today do not want ANY limit, check, or balance on what they want to do. The song even points this out! Thanks.
I am hearing impaired and I may not hear all the words but I feel close to God when I hear it. God gave me this video as a gift because I've been seaching for Eagle Song for many years since I don't have the records anymore. It is my favorite song and I love the video. It's very inspiring. Thank you.
One verse changed my view on my relationship with God, "Simplicity of God somehow escapes man".
Yes, God gave a simple message of love and forgiveness and no matter how man tries to complicate the supreme sacrifice of God's Son, His message is clear, I died for YOU.
Part 2: What human intellect can´t sway Must be explained the way, earth wisdom, religions of man Search without end to fill the spirit house within Simplicity of God somehow escapes man I reached for the eternal one Creation he was waiting to reveal His purpose in me He said this is where life begins I made your spirit, to glide on the wind Come lets glide, on the wind Come on! lets glide, on the wind! On the wind! On the wind! On the wind!
I tried my best to write down the lyrics of this song (could not find them on the internet), so here it goes in 2 parts: I stood and watched an eagle fly Spread its wings and soar across the sky So gracefully he flew Rising effortlessly I wanted to know, just how to be free Tiny fingers curled around mine Perfectly formed; new born The image of two Infinite mistery I wanted to know, where life comes from
Thank you for the lyrics! I am hearing impaired and I couldn't find the lyrics on the internet. You were an answer to prayer.This is my favorite song.
This song is so good.I loved the Imperials.Russ Taff's voice is great.This song is so beautiful and it speaks great truth. Thank you for sharing and posting this wonderful song.You did a great job on the video.Mommyg1. 5 stars! Lisa
Holy Shit!!! This song brings memories back to me! of my childhood! My mom use to play this song alot when i was a little girl.With god in my life,carefree of what was around me!!
My memory of this song is that the singles from our church were invited to a local nursing home after our Sunday morning service. We were asked to sing for the elderly. One girl brought an accompaniment tape of this song and all of us were just blown away weeping over the message. Later our singles pastor conveyed disappointment. He was wanting us to sing standard hymns so the elderly could sing along. They didn't "get it." I still get a warm sensation listening to the Holy Spirit's anointing.
The Imperials and Amy Grant were really the beginning of contemporary Christian music. These started back in the mid 70's.
Great music, it reaches out to the new generations of Christians and I'm sure the likes of Rich Mullins, Michael W. Smith, etc got a good base from these earlier groups for what is written and sung today.
This song has become somewhat of a lost classic. It is one of the most amazing modern-era Christian songs. The depth and truth of the lyrics combined with the music and vocals is incredible. I truly relate with this song. Thanks so much for posting!
I agree with you Faradayslaw..A lost Classic. The lyrics are stellar..although it was recorded by a "Christian group" for me it is a universal song for all who can see the TRUTH.
I agree with the comment below mine-you did a GREAT job! The song is wonderful and, normally I like to see live videos and not pics, but YOU picked some wonderful pictures to go with the song!
This is the very best video on all of YouTube! Absolutely beautiful. One of my very favorite Imperials songs and the pictures....too marvelous for words. Thank you God for the beauty you've given us. "Simplicity of God somehow escapes man"
I sang this song to my daughter when her tiny fingers could barely curl around one of mine. She still asks me to sing it to her at night, 11 years later. Timeless this
I was 20 yrs. old and first say this song on The Ross Bagley Show on the CBN station on tv. I loved and still love The Imperials, Russ Taff what a voice God gave you!!! I miss you guys.
