Hillsong United's 'Eagle's Wings' is a worship song that expresses a deep longing for God's presence and a desire to abide in Him. The lyrics convey a posture of waiting, surrender, and prayer, asking God to hide the singer in His love and bring them to their knees. The song draws on the biblical imagery of rising on eagle's wings, symbolizing strength and renewal found in God. It is a personal, intimate plea for Jesus to be known more deeply and for the Holy Spirit to take over every aspect of life. The song encourages trust and dependence on God's sustaining power.
