My Angel

I've tried to live my life oh Lord,
the way you said I must.
Covered in your precious blood
and abiding in your trust.

But many times the enemy
approached me for a fight.
Tempting me with gifts of flesh.
And luring me from YOUR light.

I know that enemy seeks to destroy
the joy that's in my praise.
Reminding me of my shameful past,
that haunts me all my days.

He knows my darkest secrets.
And he knows my weakest spot.
Setting before me carnal things,
tempting my every though.

I drank from his cup of sin Lord Jesus!
That he filled for me to the brim!
I swallowed down his evil ways
and feasted on his sin.

I fought a good fight so many times.
but this time I did fail.
Tossed and torn to and fro
Like a ship without a sail.

I fallen from your throne room Lord,
once a servant, glad and humbled.
You bestowed on me your Holy Spirit,
Yet still I tripped and stumbled.

I fellowshipped with worldly souls,
I even denied knowing thee.
But you somehow still made a way,
And never forsaken me!

You sent to me your blessed angel,
hidden and in disguise.
Plain and normal to unbelievers,
but beautiful in my eyes.

She comforts me in times of pain,
and embraces my every cry.
She gives me my strength to carry on,
and wipes the tears from my cloudy eyes..

She holds me in her comforting arms,
soothing, strong and warm.
Silencing my thoughts of grief,
and shielding me from harm.

Oh Lord I was lost all alone!
But now I just want to take this time!
To thank you for your blessed assurance,
And for this special angel of mine!
