Angels Among Us

Are you aware that as a person of faith Angels are right here? All around, spiritually sound Any and everywhere Are you aware that God will bless you With an agent from His throne? Angels are among us And we're never ever alone Our faith must be relevant To the life we are now living Our faith must also connect To the aura we are giving To be no earthly good Because you're too focused on the Promised Land Not living God's way Nor on the principles of which He stands But we can't sit in silence in the face Of Trump's atrocious acts Taking innocent babies from their parents With no means to give them back And then have the nerve to justify this With the Holy Scriptures But we who are children of God Know the true picture Enforcing the laws of man Or to abide by the laws of God For God said those who are fleeing oppression We must take them to heart And never forget that we ourselves Came to this land as well For we were all immigrants The truth we must tell So entertain strangers because You'll never know If an angel is among them And that It's watching you show The true nature of your character And your Christian care And if you're ready to do something About what's happening here We all must learn to live together Or we all will perish as fools To let go of hate and racism For those are not godly tools And God said when the children cry He will hear them weep And His wrath will come down And the price will be steep So heed and abide by what God Himself did say I have angels among you Each and every day And to never forget that you yourself Were strangers and immigrants too Have compassion for each other As I have had compassion for you
