Angel of Mercy

O’ Angel of mercy
Wait
Do not take her away yet
Tarry a while
Wait a while
Her body is still warm
Her soul still lingering
    I have to say
    A million things
    I have to show her
    A million dreams
O’ Angel of mercy
Stay a while
Wait a while
    She has yet to hug me
    She has yet to love me
    Her hand on my head
    Her breath on my cheek
O’ Angel of mercy
Tarry a while
Wait a while
    My heart cries
    For her warmth
    My life cries
    For her strength
O’ Angel of mercy
Stay a while 
Wait a while
    Her immense love
    Which gathered
    Me to her
    Is yet to be felt
O’ Angel of mercy
Tarry a while
Wait a while
    Give me a chance
    O’ Angel of mercy
    Give me a chance.
