ANGELS' CARE Refrain Tune: Go to sleep, my precious one. Go to sleep, my darling. Slumber on till morning comes; go to sleep, my love. (1) Pictures that you make in your mind can help you drift away to sleep now; see yourself in your guardian angels' arms, cradled in the arms of love. Refrain: Angels sent from Heaven above, always watching over you, are guarding you with unseen hands, here to see you through. (2) You are not alone, my love, beneath your guardian angels' wings. Rest now in their tender care; such blessed peace they bring. Refrain: Angels sent from Heaven above, always watching over you, are guarding you with unseen hands, here to see you through. (3) We are blessed by angels' care, by their heav'nly presence here. Such a comfort it is to know they are always near. Refrain: Angels sent from Heaven above, always watching over you, are guarding you with unseen hands, here to see you through. (4) Anytime you wish, my love, speak to your angels with your heart. Heav'nly lightness, love and joy to you they will impart. Refrain Angels sent from Heaven above, always watching over you, are guarding you with unseen hands, here to see you through.

ANGELS' FOOTSTEPS My dear little one, I will not wish for you riches, nor the passing glow of fame; but rather, that wherever you may go, some weary life may gladden at your radiant smile; some shadowed life may know sunshine for awhile. And so your smiles will leave a trail of light like angels= footsteps passing through the night. (Repeat with descant, and then with other harmonies) Words and music for Angels' Footsteps copyright 1997 by Linda K. Williams Linda.BetterWorld@gmail.com BetterWorld-Resources.com Words based on two versions of a document in public domain; please see below: WORDS UPON WHICH THE LYRICS FOR ANGELS' FOOTSTEPS WERE BASED Words shared by Dr. Jo Stanchfield at C.R.A. conference 11-11-88; credit given: From an inscription on a church wall in England; probably 16th century.: My beloved friend, I would not wish for thee riches, nor the passing glow of fame; but rather, wheresoe'er thou goest, some weary life may gladden at thy radiant smile--- some weary life may know sunshine for awhile. And so thy smiles shall leave a trail of light, like angels' footsteps passing through the night. Words found in Where Angels Walk by Joan Wester Anderson, published in 1992 by Ballantine Books, a division of Random House, Inc., New York; found on p. 232 at the top of the chapter entitled Another Beginning. Credit given: Words on a church wall in Upwalthan, England. I will not wish thee riches nor the glow of greatness, but that wherever thou go some weary heart shall gladden at thy smile, or shadowed life know sunshine for a while. And so thy path shall be a track of light, like angels' footsteps passing through the night.

WE ARE SPIRITUAL BEINGS Oh, we are not just human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience. 1 Things eternal are more considerable than things which are temporal; and things not seen are as certain as the things we do see. REFRAIN: Oh, we are not just human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience. 2 When we need to gain perspective, when life=s trials are pressing in, it changes everything to consider God=s greater, loving plan. REFRAIN: Oh, we are not just human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience. 3 Help us simplify our lives, Lord; focus in on what is real. And take the time to pray daily for a closer walk with Thee. REFRAIN: Oh, we are not just human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience. 4 With the passing of friends and family, grief and sorrow have their day; but we hold fast to the faith and promise that life eternal is theirs today. REFRAIN: Oh, we are not just human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience. Credits: Refrain: Sant Rajinder Singh, Ram Dass, Jackie Small, or Teilhard de Chardin (several different people are credited with this quote) Verse 1, John Wesley (paraphrased) Music and the balance of the lyrics 8 1996 by Linda K.
