My Angel

It hasn't been that long ago, my eyes was full of tears.
Feeling so helpless and all alone, worst I felt in years. 

So many thoughts raced through my head, just as I began
 to pray. I never knew of any love to make me feel this way.

When the Lord rushed to me, to take away the pain, and fill
me with his peacefulness , and wash away the shame.

So many mistakes I've made through my life time, But Bishop
Wilson introduced me to his champ, who is now a champ of mine.

I wouldn't trade anything for this treasure found, for he let me see
him through his Glory and placed me on solid ground. 

Oh how I thank thee, for all you've done for me. For all the many 
miracles I could and could not see.

I know now that you are with me, for I have you in my heart. You 
and I a Pete and Jessie a bond to never part.

Lord I need you on my life's journey, to guide me through my days
teaching me to think like you and lay down my fleshly ways.

Putting a smile on your face, means so much to me, so I put my 
hand in your hand and trust you so graciously.

Bishop Wilson, Thank you for how you prayed for us and all the 
words of strength you gave, I realized now that all you wants is 
for us all to be saved.

Though tired in the body, yet going on, on and on, and on and on.
You are a busy man, we all can clearly see, But I have one request
if I may ask of thee: That... when you go before the lord, Please 
remember me!

Hi, Mr. Horn. Thank you for your comment. Bishop Wilson is first an Icon in my life. He Loves, Respects, and Honor Jesus Christ Passionately. He is the Bishop of the church family in which I am apart of.
