Praying With An Angel

It’s almost midnight
And no one knows
Why I’m still awake
And my eyes won’t close

So I lie and think
But I’m not afraid
As I remember
The price once paid

That price was paid
While the ground below
Would soon be seen
With blood would flow

But that blood would stop
For evermore
As its owner approached
Heaven’s open door

The Angels sang
There was joyful song
As our Saviour was back
Where He belonged

He took His place
By His Father’s side
And told the story
Of His Earthly ride

He knew He’s done
What He had to do
Nailed to that cross
For me and you

He gave His life
So we might live
And promised all
His Father would forgive

But He does expect
For us to show
That we do believe
And what path to follow

And it’s not enough
For us to say
That we do believe
But never pray

So talk to God
When e’er you can
And show your faith
To your fellow man

There’ll be an Angel
To lead you through
What it may be
God has planned for you

So ask that Angel
To lead your prayer
So you tell God
That you’re still there

It may be midnight
But that Angel knows
If you ask it right
Your eyes will close

And if you don’t see
The rise of dawn
You know you’ll be
With God that morn
