When Jesus Needs an Angel

[Verse 1]
The shadow of the day on the gravestone
A man standing still in the wind
He's lost the one he holds dearest
The one he held closest to him
Now he's alone to raise children
The plan with his wife is now gone
She was too sick and departing
An angel was being called home

[Chorus]
When Jesus needs an angel
They must answer the call
They cannot stay here
For He needs them all
Unfair at the time it seems
Too early to go
Fear not my brother
The Lord He doth know

[Verse 2]
A family left broken in pieces
The heart has been taken away
Time will be the healer
Though time is quite far from today
Seeking a last moment refuge
A chance to start over again
The man who'd given up Jesus
Prays that he'll see her again

[Chorus]
When Jesus needs an angel
They must answer the call
They cannot stay here
For He needs them all
Unfair at the time it seems
Too early to go
Fear not my brother
The Lord He doth know
When Jesus needs an angel
They must answer the call
They cannot stay here
For He needs them all
Unfair at the time it seems
Too early to go
Fear not my brother
The Lord He doth know
Fear not my brother
The Lord He doth know
