i'm an angle now
Created by virginia 9 years ago
One night I cried to Jesus
as I sat beneath the tree.
I looked into the open sky
and hoped He'd answer me.
I'm lost, dear Lord, I've traveled far
but still I seem to roam.
Please light the way and lead me, Lord;
I need to get back home.
I told Him of my burdens
and of the sadness in my heart-
that from His gracious love
I'd never felt so far apart.
Why did you take my child, Lord?
I cannot understand!
No longer can I touch his face
or hold his tiny hand.
I'm angry Lord, I'm missing him.
I'm drowning in my sorrow.
Please help to heal my yesterday
and face each new tomorrow.
It was then I heard his gentle voice
and felt his presence near.
How I wanted so to hold him
as I cried another tear.
He said, "Mommy, I'm an angel now,
my spirit will be free.
I'm an angel now in heaven,
so please don't cry for me.
I was chosen by our Lord above
and now I'm in His care.
When you need me, look inside your heart.
I promise to be there.
No one can ever take away
our bond with one another.
For I'll always be your precious child
as you will be my mother.
So if you cannot find your way
or the road to home seems far,
just look up to the Heavens
and I'll be your guiding star."
He said, "Mommy, I'm an angel now,
my spirit will be free
I'm an angel now in Heaven-
no need to cry for me."
