There's An Angel In Your Choir

There is an angel in your choir, Lord

Upon whose breath rings carillon

As her face glows flush with faith

Petitioning my soul to song.

There's an angel in your choir, Lord

Her eyes seeking heaven's hearth

And the sparkle of her love for You

Brings cadence to my heart.

There's an angel in your choir, Lord

With reverent arms reaching forth in praise

In witness of your glory's might

Bearing truth that anoints my day.

* * * * *

If only such love, Lord

Could also be meant for me

My heaven would begin on earth

And prevail for all eternity.

Somewhere in time, Lord

I know I will find my place

Among the heavenly stars

And your most loving grace.

But until such day, Lord

That you shall call me home

May I ask that you bless me, Lord

With an angel of my own?
