Have You Ever Seen An Angel

Have You Ever Seen An Angel?

Have you ever seen an Angel?

I'm sure I saw a tiny one when I was feeling down.

She smiled a dimpled smile at me that chased away my frown.

The patrons in the Restaurant were smiling at her too,

And everyone seemed happier, but probably never knew

That they had seen an Angel.

Have you ever held an Angel?

When first I saw my Daughter and she nestled in my arms,

I was completely mesmerized by all her baby charms.

And each time that I held her I was filled with so much love,

That I could only thank the Lord in Heaven up above

That I had held an Angel.

Have you ever fed an Angel?

I fed a precious Saint of God who'd suffered from a stroke,

And it was hard to understand the few words that she spoke,

But still her love for Jesus left a radiance shining through,

And as I fed and prayed for her that day somehow I knew

That I had fed an Angel.

Have you ever heard an Angel?

One night my sleep was troubled as I tossed and turned in bed,

While all my fears and problem kept parading through my head.

But then I heard a song of comfort on my radio;

A voice so sweet and clear brought peace and rest so I would know

That I had heard an Angel.

Have you ever kissed an Angel?

I kissed my dying Mother as the tears streamed down my face,

But she was looking forward to a far, far better place.

I thought of all the years she gave her tender, loving care,

And knew someday in Heaven I would meet her there.

Yes, I have kissed an Angel.

Have you ever hugged an Angel?

I hugged a Missionary who was home recovering

From shrapnel wounds by terrorists while he was witnessing.

He planned when he recovered to return and share God's Word

With souls lost for eternity because they've never heard.

Yes, I have hugged an Angel.

Have you met your Guardian Angel?

The Bible says we're given one to guard us all through life,

To help us and protect us in this world of sin and strife.

And though I've never seen mine with my eyes, I've felt him near,

Protecting me from accidents, and keeping me from fear.

Yes, I have met my Angel.
