Send Me an Angel

All alone, He prayed deep in the night
His disciples fast asleep
Oh Father, may this cup pass from me
I'm afraid and my soul grieves, oh

Send me an Angel
Send me an Angel
Send me an Angel I pray
Oh Father please give me
What it takes to keep our candle aflame
Oh to keep our candle aflame

With his head bowed He prayed
Not my will but Thine
Holy Spirit
Give Me strength
Come forth to Me on Angel's Wings
What is written
Let it come to be
A crown of thorns, a cross too heavy to bear
From the burden His body falls weak
His mother cried softly for angel's wings
To lift Him up off His feet, she cried

Send Him an Angel
Send Him an Angel
Send Him an Angel I pray
Oh Father please give Him
What it takes to keep His candle aflame
Oh, to keep His candle aflame

With nails in His feet
And nails in His hands
They mocked Him
Come down if you can
He lifted His head and aloud He cried
Eloi, Eloi, Lama Sabacthani, oh

Send me an Angel
Send me an Angel
Send me an Angel I pray
Oh Father I don't have
What it takes to keep our candle aflame
Oh, to keep our candle aflame
Oh
Hmmm

Three days passed and an angel appeared
Went forth and rolled back the stone
His appearance like lightning
His garment like snow
Jesus lives, He said, now go
Tell them

God sent an Angel
God sent an Angel
God sent an Angel their way
Tell them Jesus lives
Jesus is raised
His light will forever be aflame
Oh, to those who seek Him in Name
Oh Always
Till the end
Of age
