Angels In Our Midst
angels are all around
they're present everywhere
guardians of our souls and bodies
of us they take special care
angels of the Kingdom of God
sent down from above
angels our own personal escorts
agents of God's love
they can come in any form or fashion
or personality
they are everywhere on earth
but of them, not everyone can see
an angel could have been that man
who helped you change a spare
an angel could have been that dog who barked
and of the coming danger you became aware
an angel could have been that teller at the bank
who informed you, you're due back extra change
an angel could have been that teenage boy
who for you held the doors on the train
an angel could have been that salesclerk
who told you that same dress was on sale down the street
an angel could be anything and anybody
you've encountered or just happen to meet
God sends His angels
to help us in our times of need
God sends His angels
to guide and protect us from harmful deeds
angels in our midst
of our welfare they are concerned
angels all around us
but of them can you discern?
