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 go back home.
I told Him of my burdens
And of 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 her face
Or hold her tiny hand.
I'm angry, Lord, I'm missing her
I'm drowning in my sorrow.
Please help to heal my yesterday
And face each new tomorrow.
It was then I heard her gentle voice
And felt her presence near.
How I wanted so to hold her
As I cried another tear.
She 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 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.
She said, Mommy, I'm an angel now
My spirit will be free.
I'm an angel now in Heaven
There's no need to cry for me.
