One night I cried to Jesus

As I sat beneath the tree;

I looked into the open sky

And hoped He'd answer me.

"I'm lost dear Lord...

I've traveled far, but still I seem to roam;

Please light the way and lead me, Lord,

I need to get back home."

I told Him of my burdens

And the sadness in my heart;

That from His gracious love

I'd never felt so far apart.

"Why did you take my child, Lord?

I cannot understand!

No longer can I touch his face

Or hold his timy hand."

"I'm angry, Lord... I'm missing him,

I'm drowning in my sorrow;

Please help to heal my yesterday

And face each new tomorrow."

It was then I heard his gentle voice

And felt his presence near;

How so I wanted so to hold him

As I cried another tear.

He said, "Mommy, I'm an angel now,

My spirit will be free;

I'm an angel now in heaven,

So please don't cry for me."

"I was chosen by our Lord above

And now I'm in His care;

Whenever you need me,

Just look inside your heart;

I promise to be there."

"No one can ever take away

Our bond with one another;

For I'll always be your precious child,

As you will always be my mother."

"So if you cannot find your way

Or the road to home seems far;

Just look up to the Heavens

And I'll be your guiding star."

He said, "Mommy, I'm an angel now,

My spirit will be free;

I'm an angel now in Heaven...
