As I strolled through the garden
I heard whispers all about
The whispers were of creation
Of that I had no doubt

Suddenly appearing before me
A soft glow of muted light
An angel stood before me
On that star filled night

Smiling with angelic calm
He motioned me to come
I didn't hesitate to follow
Though my mind desired to run

We sat upon a grassy spot
And he looked at the sky
Not a word had he said
So I asked him, "Why?"

Then he began to speak
Of the reasons he was there
His words were like a melody
Light flashed from his hair

He told me of heaven
And the price for sin I'd pay
As the angel spoke, I was ashamed
And turned my face away

Then another angel came forward
Carrying a shining book
He sat down beside me
And told me to take a look

My name was not in it
So I became afraid
He said I had forgotten
The price our Lord had paid!

To be written in the book again
Would be a simple thing
I had to glorify our Lord
And my heart began to sing!

I had always loved Him
But had strayed away from Him
Now I had a chance to rectify
Because He had sent me... them

To tell me that He loved me
And wanted me to change my way
I went to my knees and started
Then and there to pray

The angels rose to their feet
And smiled, before they turned to go
Now I believe in angels
And I surely know

That if you think you are lost
He will find you once again!
All you have to do is remember
That He died for our sin.
