Lord send me down an angel

and no ordinary one will do

for I've been through so much drama

only you know the truth

~~~~~

Lord make my angel fearless

strong to say the least

to chase away all bad things

and kill this vicious beast

~~~~~

In just a few short minutes

my angel did appear

and when my eyes first saw him

I'd knew they"d be no more fear

~~~~~

He was so,strong and courageous

yet so caring and loving too

he stretched out his arms toward me

~~~~~

So as I hurriedley appoached him

and curled up in his lap

I knew that I'd find peace tonight

and I'd get some sleep at last

~~~~~

One night as I was curled up

I realized I hadn't ask,

"What shall I call you angel?"

~~~~~

Oh what a blessing I'd been bestowed

for my nighttime request

the Lord sent his son, to watch over me

and to put my fears to rest

~~~~~

Each night he holds me closely

keeping watch while I do sleep

making sure my dreams are pleasant

and destroying all the creeps

~~~~~

So if I shall die tomorrow

or if tonight's, my time to pass

then know that I'm in heaven

curled up in his Jesus' lap.
