THE GIFT OF AN ANGEL

From out the depths of misery
a heart all bruised, in pain,
confused and in a maze of fog
darkness had come to reign.

The Lord saw my predicament
the Lord He saw my pain,
the Lord knew what I needed
to put me on my feet again.

He sent to me an angel
with eyes that spoke His love,
with lips that spoke compassion
and arms that heal and hug.

He knew I had to vent my pain
on an understanding ear,
make me realize His presence
at all times, He’s ever near.

Deep down I always knew it
but had let my cares become,
a burden too immense to handle
they’d blocked out the very Son.

Thank You God for being there
though at times I couldn’t see,
I thank You for that special day
You sent an angel to help me.
