With One Angel Wing

With one angel wing, an angel stands
Ever awaiting the Lord's commands.

Angels, with two wings, can fly away;
The angels, with one wing, have to stay

To pick up the others who fall down,
Or brighten the lives of those who frown.

The work of an angel's never done,
From early dawn to the setting sun.

Did you hear that whisper in your ear?
An angel with one wing, "Do not fear."

If one angel cries, another's there;
If you are an angel, do not despair.

When someone falls down, it may take two;
Without one word, they know what to do.

They'll stand that person back on her feet
And give her a smile that is so sweet!

The uplifted person goes away,
While the angels hold watch and pray.

You'll hear one angel soon say "Thank you."
The other will say, "You're welcome," too.

The angel with one wing, filled with love,
Does acts of mercy for God above.

If you see an angel, with one wing,
Maybe it's yours, that will make him sing.

Angels appear when you least expect,
When lives are broken, or homes lie wrecked.

Just open your eyes and soon you'll see,
You have two wings; you're an angel free.

Just be the angel you're called to be;
God has a plan for eternity.

You're part of that plan, though it may seem
To many others, just one wild dream.

Your angel call is simply for you;
Do whatever God leads you to do.

Soon you will know that your task is done;
You'll rest in the heavens with His Son.
