Angels in Disguise
$3.00 or moreAngels in DisguiseAdd to cartOriginal song. Purchase includes digital download of lyrics and music and permission to use. (Hear it in the Product Description below.) Lyrics: For the angels in all disguises who have loved us in so many ways, we have come to expect your surprises; we have come to sing your praise. God, you have loved us more than we believe. Help us to be humble; help us to receive. We have asked for your Word’s revealing without listening to all that you say, and the ones who would bring us your healing we have pridefully turned away. God, you have loved us... When we dare to be unprotected from a foe of Samaritan cast, when we welcome the ones we rejected, then we meet you, God, at last. God, you have loved us... Have we enemies? Love them dearly, for the ones we reject or despise are the ones we will some day see clearly as your angels in disguise. God, you have loved us... -

I give my heart to you, and give you light. For you are mine; I hold you and I love you so. All water says, Remember you are my delight."
