An angel hovered near the earth

To listen, should I call.

God had sent the angel here

To catch me, should I fall.

No summons did I make above

For I felt that I knew best.

The angel could just take God’s love

And care for all the rest.

No need had I for any help –

My problems few & small.

I had the answers I would need

Were my back against a wall.

The smallest problem began to grow.

I could not make it stop.

Trouble, trouble everywhere –

Soon there was a crop.

As I pondered what to do,

I raised my hands above;

Then, I felt the angel’s grasp

And God’s continued love.

In my despair, I found the peace

That I’d been searching for.

It was there all along

When I opened up the door.

More grateful now, I could not be

When I look up towards the sky

And ask my Master for His help;

For He always hears my cry.

He sends an angel to calm my fears

And meets my every need.

I’ll listen now and talk to Him.

I’m glad to let Him Lead.
