Make Me An Angel
©2009 Robert C Burnham
Make me an angel
When my time on earth is through
Lift me up, flying high
So I may honor you
If there’s no one here
To love my flesh
Then make me an angel
And let me start afresh
Give me little arrows
That I may shoot true
Into men’s hearts of blackness
And bring out their love for you
Give me little ribbons
Of peace and tranquility
To place upon ladies pillows
A gift from you, to see
Make me an angel
To serve you o so well
Up here within your heaven
Or at the gates of hell
My tired mortal body
Is fast going away
And you know that angels
Are lovely creatures they say
Make me an angel
Let me make amends
For all my past wrong deeds
When I walked among men
I have slowly realized
Your love is everywhere
Even the dreaded jackal
For you, will shed a tear
And all the rocks will cry out
‘You are the risen king’
Make me an angel
And set me free to sing
Peace, love and glory
Is waiting at your throne
Make me an angel
And bring me home
Make me an angel…

This is very nicely written, and FEATURED in Artistic Therapy.
This and that of them and us
With Saint Archangel Michael in the Van
Let me face with flaming sword, Satan's cavalry,
and storm the gates of Hell if you say I can!
There's not just praying and formation flying,
Praising and singing in the Angelic Choir,
If I told you Angels lives were easy, I'd be lying;
When Heaven's under threat their swords are drawn in fire
Tours of duty in eternity can be long
but Angels know that God is on their side
The power of the prescence lifts their song
And Victory is assured at the end of the ride
"Peace, love and glory
Is waiting at your throne
Make me an angel
And bring me home"
thank you
You're an angel now, to so very many of us, me included. I am honored.
