Out of the quiet of the hour
Tis now the time for peace to flower
When angels rest the air turns still
So hope may shine upon yon hill
Thus power rests in present thought
Of all the lessons life has taught.
We need replace man’s lack of love
With kindness shared from God above,
Take heart and dream what life’s about
And learn to live with faith devout !
Angels from heaven are tapping on my door
I’m not upset cause I’ve heard them tap before
I comprehend their job and what must be done
I sure could use hands on with some help for fun !
I have met an angel in my dreams
Who’s more helpful than an angel seems
All shapes and sizes is how they come
Short and tall, while slim or stout are some.
An angel is a child of the Lord
Whose aim is true and of God’s accord
I’d love an angel for my best friend
Cause they’ll be there till the very end !
My hearing has become acute
I hear a flutter on the roof
It sounds like angel wings to me
Accompanied by symphony
Oh ecstasy, how my heart sings
In unison with angels wings !
Hallelujah, here they come, angels beating on their drum
Wishing all a happy day, waiting for the saints to play
Hear the voices sweetly sing, every single note a praise
Bringing joy to everyone, let us now our spirits raise !
The angels up in heaven cry
For all the babies that will die
Ere all their lives have yet begun
In agony as one by one
They feel the thrust of surgeon’s knife
Before the ending of each life.
Our dearest Lord, have mercy on
These tiny victims that are gone
Help all who’ve suffered from the crimes
To rise again in kinder times
There find the promise of God’s love
And help from angels up above !
The stars that shine across the sky
All glow so bright when passing by
I wonder if God’s angels see
His patterns and diversity ?
Do angels go to sleep at night
And waken to the morning’s light
Or do they fall asleep at all
While awaiting God’s beck and call ?
This universe is God’s command
He rules it all with heart in hand !
Oh how I wish that there might be
An angel watching over me
To keep my life safe from great harm
Or when I err, sound an alarm.
Perhaps an angel on standby
To comfort me if I should cry
Or if the night is extra bold,
Warm hands to shield me from the cold.
Perchance if I wish hard enough
The path ahead won’t be so rough,
Whatever help God offers me
I shall accept most gratefully !
This world’s full of magic, I feel it every day
Truth, I wouldn’t change it for any other way
Along with all its beauty, courage and elan
Like the great white egret that wades amongst the swan.
Seems to me the angels are watching all the fun
Sharing laughs in heaven with almost everyone !
A little cheer, a soft hooray
Let’s all enjoy another day
Be grateful for the sun and air
And all those joys that we may share .
The Lord does bless all of our deeds
And keeps fulfilling present needs
Wherein we fall asleep each night
Sweet dreams of angels speed our flight.
They shadow us where e’er we’re sent
The morrow brings its own content !
I’ve walked among the shadows that cloud our troubled days
And wondered how the angels escaped our human ways !
There is no way one can explain
Why children love to splash in rain
Or why the mud is so much fun
In which to slide upon one’s bun.
There’s no accounting for the joy
That comes to every girl or boy
To screech as loudly as they may
To frighten every bug away.
Or why each babe will play with you
The game grownups call “peekaboo”
And truly I do not know why
They all believe that angels fly !
I think that I have always been
A child of God who prays to win
The chance to walk above the clouds
Where angels gather into crowds.
I’d roam around and seek to find
A pathway that must surely wind
Along the road up to the gate
Where Jesus’ own disciples wait.
If I should act just like a lamb
And none would notice who I am
Perhaps that might be ever keen
I could be there right on the scene !
I’ve told you about my teddy bear
And all of the dreams we two did share
We’ve spoken of my Raggedy Ann
You know I was her favorite fan.
While my mom and dad who loved me so
Taught me my manners and how to show
Kindness and love to all that I greet
How to keep my faith and be discreet.
From my nana dear who was so wise
And my grandpop with those laughing eyes
I learned that life might be a great joy
If simple respect we would employ.
For whom in this world devoid of hope
Could manage to win or learn to cope
Without the aid of the God we know
And all the angels we’ve met below ?
Oh tiny babe so full of grace
You’ve a sweet smile upon your face
Because you’ve heard the angels sing
While you are peaceful and sleeping
They whisper loving words to you
To keep you safe the long night through.
Oh how I wish that I could be
A child just out of infancy
And hear those blessed angels sing
Their praise of God who is their King !
MAKE A JOYFUL NOISE UNTO THE LORD !
I wish that I could gift to you
A dreamcatcher to get you through
The darkest night or scary day
And carry all your fears away.
To bring you quiet through each night
So your nightmares would all take flight
As angels hovered o’er your bed
To leave you peace and love instead !
. ( SEE – LAKOTA SIOUX )
Be still my heart nay do not speak
The angels know tis whom I seek
The time is come twill be quite soon
Just keep your eye fixed on the moon
And when the color turns to red
It is the time of which it’s said
Our Lord and Savior will return
To cleanse this earth and evil burn
Thus should I die before His task
Remember me is all I ask !
If wishes had wings I’d rise and fly
Across the wilderness of the sky
To meet with the angels in the air
And follow them home to tarry there.
Now angels appear to be quite strong
I am guessing that their lives are long,
Perhaps thousands of years more or less
A great mystery I must confess.
If I have to wait too long to see
I pray they’ll keep their watch over me !
Sometimes I think I hear the angels sing
Quite like the sound of gentle whispering
I’ve never heard the flutter of their wings
Though it might add to our imaginings !
I do not think I’ll ever get to see
Those angel faces watching over me
There in the shadow of our ecstasy
Where they are veiled in anonimity.
I am prepared to trust they are all here,
God’s helpful watchdogs with their mission clear
To seek and find as each last path appears
The journey follows without mortal fears !
The angels who abide above
Our guardians of peace and love
Wise messengers who keep the watch
They check the list and make a notch.
They are the voices in our ear
And thoughts that wing us happy cheer
I do not think they’re all the same
Who knows if each one has a name.
Do angels come in girl and boy
I’d like to learn what they enjoy
The angels sing they save the day
I pray they never go away !
The wind moves gently through the trees
And strums a tune sweet as you please
Some melody the angels sing
When joining in a gathering.
The heart can hear what ears cannot
Remembering what’s been forgot
Sweet memories long lasting are
They reach from earth to touch the stars !
Have you heard the angels sing
Their voices bear angelic ring
I know their choir is ultrafine
The chills run up and down my spine
I wish that I might join their ranks
So I could share my grateful thanks !
It suddenly occurred to me
God’s outreach plan is truly free
Since angels do not charge a fee
While caring for humanity !
I’ve known an angel here and there
They’ve helped me in my deep despair
Some angels did get left behind
Another goal they chose to find.
They fell from grace in record time
Their wings were clipped and edged with grime
Their deeds of good did fade away
Their faces bright turned dull and gray.
I’ve seen a few and touched their wings
But shy away from evil things
God saw their work and turned His face
He would not help those in disgrace.
They lost their good and all their mirth
And fell from heaven to the earth
Their tales of weakness followed here
Too soon they will all disappear !
My mom quite often spoke of angels
Blessing us from their holy bethels
As if they’d been her life’s truest friends
Possessing great skills making amends.
Truly she loved their heavenly ways
Frequently singing hymns in their praise
And speaking with God, as I recall
From early rising till even’s fall.
I miss her sweet voice, she loved to sing
Angels can hear her songs echoing !
Can it be that our dreams
are but the musings of angels
softly whispered whilst we sleep?
