Angels Are Always There

Surrounding you are angels,

They are there to guide your path

If weakness overcomes you,

They'll give you strength if you ask.

They are your protection,

When life seems hard to bear,

And though you feel alone at times

The angels are always there.

Their faces may be hidden,

And their voices you may not hear,

But they are always with you

Through your laughter and your tears.

They'll walk along beside you,

They'll guide your steps along the way,

They'll comfort you and hold you,

Protect you night and day.

They'll hold your hand tightly,

They'll never let it go,

They'll gently lead you forward

Taking each step very very slow.

For even as you slumber,

They watch closely over you,

They are there beside you

In each and everything you do.

When life is overwhelming,

And your spirit has grown tired,

Know they'll be there for you,

To uplift and inspire.

And when you're torn and lonely,

And you see no hope ahead,

Know that they will nourish you,

Your spirit will be fed.

And if there comes a time in life,

That your heart has been broken,

Hear the words, "I'm here my child,"

And know your angel has spoken.

For even in the darkest hour,

When all hope seems gone,

They'll give you strength to live your life,

And desire to go on.

And if your faith in heaven,

Should ever fade away,

They'll help renew your spirit,

And help you find your way.

Even though you're filled with doubt,

About the life you live,

Know that they are there to give you

All that they can give.

They will always be here,

They will never leave your side,

Upon their strength and guidance,

You always may rely.

Take comfort in their guidance,

Draw strength from up above,

And know that their sweet presence,

Is God's precious gift of love.
