Fellow In the Meadow

Walked alone through the darkened meadow I could feel the chill air sweeping the hills Then I came amongst a shadowy fellow And somber eyes, flames in now drills I stood there frozen, thoughts locked, spills I cried up for mercy, fears hoped will ease All my hope for running his hard hand kills Begging him for mercy, please God please So I stood there frozen alone in the meadow No longer the chill i felt sweep the hills Where could he have gone, this dark fellow Gratitude toward God my heart now fills For all my locked up thoughts now spills i cried on up for mercy, fears all now ease All of my dread for dying, his mercy kills Begging him for mercy, please God please I turned around to walk alone the meadow And along up ahead on the highest of hills I remember watching as i saw that fellow Grow some wings and light my soul fills I remember the sound, the riveting chills I saw a true Angel, all of my fears did ease Now the absence of that loving angel kills Begging him for mercy, please God please I long for your souls to see that it still fills Me up with love, all fears are past ease I hope you sit there on those same hills Begging for his mercy, please God please
