Sweet as a robin's song, Soft as billowy clouds They make their presence known. Angels from Gloryland Are roaming far and near; They come to give comfort And chase away all fear. They sometimes surprise me By a kind word or deed That comes from a stranger Or a neighbor 'cross the street. An email from a close friend Buoys my spirits way up high; It points me to my Home Far beyond the blue sky. When feeling sad and blue And tempted to despair, I take time out and pray For angels to draw near. In times of great peril And danger threatens me; They come to my rescue And keep me safe and free. God loves me for He sends A special guardian angel To watch and care for me And my deeds to chronicle. I try to live my life That will not cause him grief But honor and glorify God For that's what I believe. When I accepted Christ There was great joy in Heaven; The angels rang the bells That echoed through the realm. The smile of someone I love, The fragrance of a flower, The twinkling stars at night Tell me angels o'er me hover. In the beauty of a sunset, I see the angels gather; Their serenade thrills me And honors the Creator. On a pearl-dusted beach Ten thousand angels pour Their litany of praises That rolls like waves on the shore. Oh, glorious love of God My soul in rapture sings For all through life I feel The brush of angels' wings. Copyrighted © Lydia Haga 2004 |
