The angel of the Lord

The angel of the Lord came down
To earth: to help: to save a life that day
He came as a man so as not to scare him
Walked around, looked at all the strife
He carried him to safety: laid him upon the bed
Removed the bullets from his wounds
Blessed him as he said: remember God I say
For He has sent me to guide you
It is not your turn to die today...
He disappeared as he had arrived
Into the stillness: he was gone...
Now he walks this life as a living miracle
For he knows it was no man who came
It was no man who carried him
It was no man who took him up
It was no man who saved his life
It was his guardian angel: sent by the Lord
To show His mercy: to show His love
And now he seeks Him diligently...
Yes; every single blessed day
He walks this earth with a reminder
That heaven came close to earth that day
He passes it forward to all he meets
The blessings he received so long ago
Showing that he appreciates this life
That was returned to him
Upon a lonely war torn road
Many long years ago...
