Story behind the song
Yet those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength: They will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary. Isaiah 40:31 Monday morning blues – how many of us have never experienced that feeling of dread in the first few moments as we awake to another work week? The weekend was spent in pursuit of relaxing pleasure. Our spirits have been refreshed and renewed by fellowship with other believers just yesterday – but today it's back to reality. There's only one answer to such a dilemma. We need to invest a few minutes of time in communion with the One who has promised to give us rest. Its an investment that promises immeasurable returns in personal satisfaction as we rise above the circumstances of the coming day.
Lyrics
It's another Monday morning and you dread the thought of rising While you wonder where you'll find strength to face what waits along the way You won't have to fear the mountain as it rises up before you If you linger in His presence for a while before you start the day Then you'll rise up like the eagle with the valley far below you You shall run and not grow weary from the race to capture heaven's prize As you walk along the pathway there will be no thought of fainting While you're reaching for the promise of life that is set before your eyes Scenes of yesterday's disasters fill the windows of your mem'ry While you wrestle with the instinct to hide in the shelter of your mind But you're drawn to Living Waters and the promise of refreshing Where you revel in His presence and delight in the blessings that you find Now concern about tomorrow draws imagination's panic There's so much that's still uncertain with all of the plans that must be made But you need to leave your worries with the One who knows the future Let the Tree of Life sustain you each day as you rest beneath its shade
