Angels

She lifts her chin, but can’t look back
Just a child, in places she should never be
The wind escapes like a memory
The ones she’s like to forget

Jesus keep the angels safe under your wing
Wipe the pain from their eyes so they can feel your light

Thrashed around, ignored, never fighting back
Hiding in shadows hiding from the pain
It’s the broken world she will answer to
She presses on just another day

Jesus keep the angels safe under your wing
Wipe the pain from their eyes so they can feel your light

God we pray for the ones we let slip away
The ones who had to figure life, survive it for themselves
Mangled chaos, broken dreams, fighting all alone
And for those who shamefully cry through the night

Bring them light, Lord, bring them warmth
Let them start anew better life than before
LORD Hold their hands remind them again to smile
Little Angels we give you Jesus to do only what he can do

Lift the little angels, the ones that ran right by
Be there to comfort them, answer their cries
Remove them Lord from morbid, intoxicated dreams
HELP THEM LORD, HELP THEM BREAK FREE

Jesus keep the angels safe under your wing
Wipe the pain from their eyes so they can feel your light

She lifts her chin, but can’t look back
Just a child, in places she should never be

Bring them light lord, bring them warmth
Let them start anew, better life than before
LORD, Hold their hands
