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... -

Lyrics: The night is long; the darkness deep; our childish dreams long gone. We lie awake with hearts that ache for warmth and light of dawn. We long to trust the promise the prophets have foretold: we look for signs of your designs for what the future holds. In our unknowing and our doubt, O Christ, you speak your Word: to stay awake and watch and wait for signs unseen, unheard. Yet in our very longing, your Spirit cries for home: for you are near, and hidden here, and yet are still to come. And so in silent stillness now we watch, and as we do your grace imparts into our hearts the gifts we seek in you. Our openness transforms us: for now your grace is clear, that we may shine and be a sign that Christ is drawing near. -
