Sing Sarah Sing: The Angel Song

This song was written for a story I began writing in 2010. The book was published in 2014. Sing Sarah Sing. The song is about a man who lost everything except his faith. In the midnight hour the angels gave him this song.

The Angel Song

Though times are hard

I’m by your side

Your tears I hold within my hand

No matter what I’ll hold you close

Look to the one who understands.

Though fear may come, and tears may fall

Be still and know, that I am God

Let perfect peace restore your heart

And know my love we’ll never part

Chorus:

I walked the road of trials and torment

I sat with those who love me still

But on the cross

I felt the suffering of all the ones who love me most.

The birds they sing a nightly chorus

Of joy and peace to all they bring

So lift your voice and head toward heaven

And learn their song, their song and sing.

He gives me peace, He gives me life, the angels sing be glorified

Praise to the King our mighty King

We’re going home on angels wings.

When in the stillness now at midnight

I see the star of love so bright

I’ll never ever doubt my Savior

For He will lead me through the night

And on the breeze I hear Him whisper…

Press on my child and do not weep

For at the dawn you’ll have your answer

So close your eyes and go to sleep.

Chorus:

I walked the road of trials and torment

I sat with those who love me still

But on the cross

I felt the suffering of all the ones who loved me most.

The birds they sing a nightly chorus

Of joy and peace to all they bring

So lift your voice and head toward heaven

And learn their song, their song and sing.

He gives me peace, He gives me life, the angels sing be glorified

Praise to the King our mighty King

We’re going home on angels wings.

I wake at dawn and have my answer

His peace I sing to all who wait

And then He gives me sweet assurance

I’ll never, ever be alone

These souls I bring to heaven’s harvest

They are the ones who overcome

And now my love

You have your answer

Your journey’s only just begun!
