The Lord Sent An Angel
The Lord sent an angel
To watch over you
To love and protect
Everything that you do
And now that you’ve mastered
His plan here on earth
The Lord’s called his angel
To bring you new birth
On the wings of your angel
You’ll fly to the light
Where the Lord waits to welcome
You into his sight
Your eyes are now open
Bathed in radiant beams
The Lord has shone on you
No, ‘tis not in dreams
Your angel will lead where
He wants you to be
Up there in His presence
For eternity
This was written following the death of a close friend, Derek, who entered eternal life on Good Friday, 2008. Whilst untimely, this was a fitting end for him. He was a Franciscan Tertiary. We met because my husband and I bought an ex convent and he had been appointed guardian to one of the elderly nuns who lived here. We still visit her at her home within the Community of St. Francis in Birmingham, England.
