Borrowed Angel

God I thank you for this time
With my borrowed angel of thine
And how i would often hope and pray
That you wouldn't take my angel away

You sent him so I'd have someone close
And you sent him when I needed him the most
When it seemed like no one else was near
You sent him down with heavenly cheer

His purpose was to help me through
My depression as it grew and grew
Sent to bring a smile to my face
He made me feel as if i had a place

He came and held me tight in his arms
And guarded me from all other's harm
He picked me up and helped me stand
There was a calmness and strength in his hand

With the compassion in his deep hazel eyes
And his gentle embrace, he protected me from lies
His warm smile drove away all my fears
While his soft tender hand wiped away my tears

His smile could light up any room
But God you took my angel to soon
I really want him to still be near
I still need him; isn't that clear
