Brand New Angel
"Dedicated to Janet my dear, dear cousin"
Gone home to be with the Lord Oct 21, 2009
Today there is a new angel in Heaven
Walking, and laughing at play
I know our loved ones gone on before
Welcomed her home to stay
I would have loved to see her face
As all the wonders she beheld
As she realized she had a brand new body
Oh the story she could tell
I know she ran right to the Children
She loved the little ones so
That would be a wondrous heaven for her
for with children her love flowed
I am sure if there are Puppies and Kittens
She's playing and holding them too
All that was sweet and kind and soft
She will find in her home so new
We know you're in a much better place
Than this cold old world down here
And I know you're in HIS gentle arms
So we have no need to fear
You loved God while on this earth
And you gave your life to Him
He will open HIS loving arms to you
What a peace we have within
Someday we'll be there with you
What a joyful day we'll see
I know you'll be there waiting
To show us all that heaven will be
Thank you Lord for being there
And the comfort we feel today
No greater Love could heal this pain
Than yours you've sent our way.
