| The Angel Stood Alone |
|
Alone? Am I alone? Why do I feel thus all alone, Walking in a sea of people? Yet, no-one hears my sigh Or the words my heart may know. Am I alone as I ponder? Am I alone as I stare Behind the shadows? Do I vaguely observe Giving up the care? I didn't see the hand of God reach down, With protection all around. I walked with eyes downcast. For, there was no warm sunshine To encompass me about. And thus, I trudged along. For, I couldn't hear the song, Only a heavy feeling That everything was wrong. Alone? Yes, all alone - Walking sadly in an empty sea; No-one to hear my heart Or the cries that I may scream. I couldn't feel the gentle touch Of the angel, sent with love. I brushed aside the tenderness The Father sent, with softness, from above. Alone? Am I standing all alone, As I ponder there? All alone I stay and silently stare, Within the shadows that I bear. Softly, I hear a whisper to gently Open up the window of my heart And I begin to feel the tender Breezes blow, Heaven sent. My eyes fill up with tears and overflow As the morning light begins to creep into my soul. Thank you, Jesus. Did You come to die for me? Please fill up my emptiness with Your love So I will be, nevermore, alone. |
