  01) Little Angel

 02) Suffer Little Children

03) Scorn Not His Simplicity

 

God in Heaven, my Savior dear

Watch over my children and draw thou near

Send your little angels to be at their side

To light and to guard to love and to guide.

 

Oh my little angel
You are the flesh and blood
Of my flesh and my blood
It was God who breathed life into you
And for me, that was his greatest gift of all

And now as I watch you sleeping
I am still lost in wonder
At the miracle of your birth.
And lost for words to describe the
blessings you have brought me.

Where once my life seemed
sometimes empty and futile
Now you fill me up and give me reason to live.
In a world full of suspicion, dishonesty and distrust
You, my little angel, are an open book.
When I am weak you give me strength
When I am drifting you are my anchor.

Yesterday I found you weeping over a broken doll
And I wanted to cry as I held you in my arms.
And when the day comes that I find you weeping,
over a broken heart
I know I'll want to die, but I'll still be here to comfort you

Oh my little angel, Whatever befalls you in the years ahead
May the Lord Above, who gave you to me,
Hold you in the hollow of his hand.
