Angel's Hand

Lyrics by: Greg & Louise Fritsch, David Smith
VS.1
The other day I got a letter
From a little girl in Oregon
I could see where she layed her hand
Outlined her little fingers with a crayon
She wrote, "My name is Angel
And I'm gonna be eight years old
Mama told me to write you this letter
Cause you were so brave and far from home"
Lift:
"But If you get scared like me at night
Just place your hand here on mine
And just like my Mommy always says", "in the morning it'll be alright"
It'll be alright
Chorus:
So when I question my sacrifice's...and I doubt the reason's why
I unfold Angels' letter...and soon uncertainty subsides
And when that battle seems to rage on and on and the fears are more than I can stand
I find such peace and confort holding to Angel's hand.....Angel's hand
VS.2
Some say we're battleing uphill
Fighting for a losing cause
If the worst to me should happen
Is the outcome worth the cost
But everytime I read Angel's letter
And I touch her little outlined hand
I know I'm doing the right thing
Keeping her safe in her homeland
Lift:
Some day when I get called home
When that time comes, I won't be alone
I'll take my flight from this land...holding to Angel's hand
Chorus:
So when I question my sacrifice's...and I doubt the reason's why
I unfold Angels' letter...and soon uncertainty subsides
And when that battle seems to rage on and on and the fears are more than I can stand
I find such peace and confort holding to Angel's hand.....Angel's hand
