For the Angels

Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)



Fill the world with crystal
Tame us with your wings
Uplift a tethered heart
With angelic whispering
Light our way to heaven
Show us how to love
Messenger of glory
Highly sought thereof
Bare the strongest story
Gentle as a dove's wings
Place your trust in us
Whom God is beckoning

    Light our way to Heaven. Show us how to Love. Sounds like ministrations of Holy Spirit, indwelling each stalwart believer. Bringing on the mind of Christ; His agenda and compassions…Wayne Blair
