Angels Come From God

Angels come from God,
Borne here on wings snow white,
To touch some human being's life
While on their heavenly flight.

That may be true, for so it seems
To happen, now and then.

Some heavenly being reaches down
To touch the hearts of men.

But there's another kind of gift
That comes from God to men.

It happens when a human heart
Is filled with love again.

And this can happen any time,
On any given day,
If human hearts will hear Love's call
And let Love have its way.

But human hearts are often shy,
And fear what men would say.

They also fail to see how Love
Could use them in this way.

And so they miss the chance to be
Somebody's Angel when
A caring word, a thoughtful deed
Would've brought love back again.

So listen, friend,
and heed Love's call
To help someone in need.

Somebody's Angel, on this day,
Just may be you or me.

Charles David Heineke, 1989

Angels In My Heart

When I have no one to turn to
And I am feeling kind of low
When there is no one here to talk to
And no where I really want to go
I search deep within myself
It is the love inside my heart
That lets me know my Angels are there
Even though we are many miles apart
A smile then appears upon my face
And the sun begins to shine
I hear a voice, so soft and sweet
Saying, 'Everything will be just fine'
It may seem that I am alone
But I am never by myself at all
Whenever I need my Angels near
All I have to do is call
An Angel's love is always true
On that you can always depend
They will always stand behind you
And will always be your friend
