White Feathers
Amongst the strangers that she knew, a world of such mistrust
she knew her life could get much worse, this self-destruction she must stop
before the sunsets on this day, she must seek forgiveness, it's time to pray.
I call unto the highest powers, Lord hear my cries through darkest hours, shine thy light
that I may see, the path thou hast prepared for me,
upon my knees I send my prayer, show me a sign that thou art there,
My life without you fell apart, I seek thee Lord, thy Sacred heart
I bow my head in such disgrace, save me Lord from this, my awful fate.
Through the window flew a dove, could this be the sign from God above?
the bird as it flew around, sent feathers falling to the ground
as they fell, came tumbling down, she could not speak, not make a sound
her eyes widened at such a sight, angels wings surrounded her so white
as they gently settled to the floor, she bowed her head to pray once more
Dear Lord I felt you pull me near, you sent my guardian angel here
my life can now begin anew, with this blessing I've received from you
From her knee's she began to stand, and found a feather in her hand
this feather the first of her own angel wings, she knew she was meant for greater things
So when on this earth your feeling low, there's to the Lord that you can go
