When Jesus Needs an Angel
William Prince
The shadow of the day on the gravestone A man standing still in the wind
He's lost the one he holds dearest The one he held closest to him
Now he's alone to raise children The plan with his wife is now gone She was too sick and departing An angel was being called home
When Jesus needs an angel They must answer the call
They cannot stay here for He needs them all Unfair at the time it seems
Too early to go Fear not my brother
The Lord He doth know
A family left broken in pieces The heart has been taken away Time will be the healer
Though time is quite far from today
Seeking a last moment refuge A chance to start over again The man who'd given up Jesus Prays that he'll see her again
