An Angel’s Tears
by
Wayne A. Hicks, Sr.(BMI)

If only I could hold you in these lonely arms of mine,
And shelter you from all the world and more,
Then I’d be king of all there is, a monarch in the land,
And you’d be all that I’d be living for,
But as it is, my arms are here, and you’re so far from me,
So I bow down each night and then I pray,
For God to keep you safe for me, send comfort in His Love,
Until He brings me home to you to stay.

And somewhere, up in Heaven, there’s an angel just for me,
God put him there to do what I can’t do,
His name means “Love, Forever,” his robe will dry your eyes,
And his wings will always fly my love to you.

Whenever you remember all the times I held you near,
That’s when he dries the lonely tears you’ve cried,
And when you’re softly sleeping, in some sweet dream of me,
He’s whisp’ring all the love I feel inside,
And when you sit there, crying, and pray for my return
And ask the Lord to let me soon be there,
The angel flies to Heaven, and kneels before the throne,
To lay before the Lord your loving prayer,

And somewhere, up in Heaven, an angel sheds a tear,
As God looks down with love on you and me,
And shakes His head in wonder, that we made an angel cry,
For an angel’s tears were never meant to be.
