fly

 
 

Run, John, run,
the law demands,
but gives us neither feet, nor hands;

far better news,
the Gospel brings,
it bids us fly, and gives us wings.

(John Bunyan)

Have you not known? Have you not heard? 
The Lord is the everlasting God, 
the Creator of the ends of the earth. 
He does not faint or grow weary; 
his understanding is unsearchable. 
He gives power to the faint, 
and to him who has no might he increases strength. 
Even youths shall faint and be weary, 
and young men shall fall exhausted; 
but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; 
they shall mount up with wings like eagles; 
they shall run and not be weary
they shall walk and not faint

(from the writings of the prophet Isaiah)
