If you haven't figured out by now, I have a lot of backing tracks from Ron Hamilton's body of work, one of my favorites being Wings as Eagles. It's based on the end of Isaiah 40 and the beginning of Hebrews 12, the relevant verses being included in the introduction to the song. If you wish to skip to where the lyrics start, it's right around the 30 second mark, but I've always found the orchestrations in his work to be incredibly beautiful and well worth the listen.

As for the message of the song, Wings as Eagles encourages us to keep in mind that no matter how difficult life can be, for the faithful follower of God who continues to walk in obedience, God will lift them up and carry them through the difficult trials of life. Sometimes that means being dragged through to the other side and feeling like we barely survived (mostly because of our own stubborn refusal to just do what we're supposed to do in the first place) and other times we come through with nary a scratch. However, God remains faithful to His own and no matter what happens to us, either stumbling through life or when our dreams in life seem to collapse, God remains on His throne.

In addition, as we go through life, rather than trying to imitate those around us, we are to imitate Christ, who lived life as a model for us to follow. If we want to know how to handle life, we need only look at His example for us.
