Held the Hands of Angels

Held the Hands of Angels

I walked into a church without a piece of faith
without the slightest breath of passing grace
Oh but in this place so holy, a familiar face
led my weakening body to a circle of saviors
and there i was cast gently into forgiveness.

On the eve of this Christmas morning
I held the hands of angels, as they sing
And as I let myself fall to my knees
letting grief stream down my cheeks
feeling no courage, low as the floor
Just to stand up and sing once more.

For over an hour I sat and silently listen
tear after tear sliding down, i cried
shedding every drop of pain, as they came
and lifted my soul and took my hands
They took my spirit, my soul my life
slowly mended every scar of every person
who had stepped too hard upon my fragile heart.

For the day before had just been too unkind
For my heart to overcome the decision of mind
To my ever giving love, when everything was torn
between what i had, and what i wanted of more.

On the eve of this Christmas morning
I held the hands of angels, as they sing
And as I let myself fall to my knees
letting grief stream down my cheeks
feeling no courage, low as the floor
Just to stand up and sing once more.

Her hands, oh they were so comforting
His eyes, oh they were so gentle and sad
Her embrace, oh it kept me safely still
They sat around and guarded as I broke...
And let it all go, everything, without a word
without a word, they accepted my sorrow, my tears.

On the eve of this Christmas morning
I held the hands of angels, as they sing
And as I let myself fall to my knees
letting grief stream down my cheeks
feeling no courage, low as the floor
Just to stand up and sing once more.

After the fateful pain, a peaceful release came
came to me as i felt too tired and too weak
to think upon things over my control, my hope
leaving me empty of the uncertainty and misery
Then as i was helped once more to my feet
I found myself surrendering to the arms of an angel
And finally, closing my eyes, I found comfort here.

And with grace...I let out my voice, and sang once more.
