Angel Guide

Angel's are sent from heaven above

To help us know about God's love

Then as we stumble from human mistakes

That angel will rescue us from our fate

Yes angel's are sent from heaven above

To guide us onwith peace and love

That angel will send us sweetly on

To teach and guide our children on

God has given us, an angel guide

To watch upon us, as life goes by

For each mistake, that we will make

That angel will guide us before to late

Our angel guide will lead us on

Until we go to our heavenly home

And as we leave this world one day

That angel guide will leave the way
