Angels Among Us

I was walkin'home from school

on a cold winter day,

took a short cut through the woods

and I lost my way.

It was gettin' late, and I was scared and alone.

Then a kind old man took my hand, and led me home.

sung: mama couldn't see him,

but he was standing there,

and I knew in my heart

he was the answer to my prayer.

Oh, I believe there are Angels Among Us,

sent down to us from somewhere up above.

They come to you and me in our darkest hours

to show us how to live

to teach us how to give

to guide us with the light of love.

When life held troubled times

and had me down on my knees

there's always been someone

to come along and comfort me

a kind word from a stranger

to lend a helping hand

a phone call from a friend

just to say I understand

Now ain't it kind of funny

at the dark end of the road

someone light the way with just a single ray of hope.

They wear so many faces,

show up in the strangest places

and grace us with their mercies in our time of need.

To guide us with the light of love
