Angels of grace

Weak I became
Wrapped in a heavy cloak of guilt and shame
Lost and unable to reclaim 
My feet were once firm 
now trembled with fear
Afraid to stand before the Lord, my heart unclear

But God, in his mercy, sent me angels of grace
Who listened to my story and showed a gentle face
They helped me rise reminding me of God's love
And whispering to me, "You are not alone, God loves you, and he'll receive you with open arms."

He will embrace you and dress you in nice clothes 
Like the father did for the prodigal son
"Welcome, welcome, welcome home" " he'll say to you

With no judgment, no condemnation, just pure love
I was blessed with words of affirmation and encouragement,
With their tender love and support, 
I felt peace, and my heart renewed. 

These are the people we all need
A blessing to the soul
A reminder we're not alone, making us whole

Let's help people with ears that hear and words that heal
And pray for one another, that love and hope may appear
