Angel In the Wilderness
I rolled across the river
the mighty Rio Grande
and breathlessly I gazed upon
the beauty of our land
The vastness of the canyons
and desert color's bright
'neath that lantern ever glowing
that sheds on us it's light
Then later gazed the heavens
at those dots across the sky
the moonbeams on the water
as the river drifted by
There's a peace within my spirit
in the stillness of the night
I hear the whisper of an angel's wing
somewhere beyond the light
As the miles wash across my soul
and shades begin to fall
I sense the presence of a lady
and beckon to her call
Her spirit drawing closer
within I feel a glow
Midst the essence of an angel
is a love I've come to know
