Wings Of God

I felt the soft feather touch
As I lay sleeping in my bed
Softly brush across my face
And linger on my head.

I thought I might be dreaming
An Angel in my view
More beautiful than words can say
I thought, what should I do?

I laid there in deep silence
My eyes so big and wide
The smile was oh so glorious
As she sat down by my side.

I did not come to hurt you
I came from up above
To watch you and protect you
And cover you with love.

She wrapped her wings around me
A vigilance she would keep
She held me in her sweet embrace
Until I fell asleep.

I know I wasn't dreaming
It is clear to me you see
The Angel in my vision
Was God watching over me.
