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 get 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 his face

or hold his tiny hand.

I'm angry Lord, I'm missing him.

I'm drowning in my sorrow.

Please help to heal my yesterday

and face each new tomorrow.

It was then I heard his gentle voice

and felt his presence near.

How I wanted so to hold him

as I cried another tear.

He 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.

When you need me, 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 precious child

as you will 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."

He said, "Mommy, I'm an angel now,

my spirit will be free

I'm an angel now in Heaven-

no need to cry for me."
