ANGEL OF THE LAKE

I walk along the waters edge
Supporting a lonely, empty frown.
Water rippling from my feet,
My head sadly hanging down.

Suddenly I felt God's gentle touch,
It's something one cannot mistake.
He lifted my head and turned it toward
The distant shore of this great lake.

There I saw an angel
Extending out her waiting hand.
A radiant glow about her,
Standing in the sand.

Was my prayer being answered?
Yes, my Lord does care.
But how do I get across the water
To the angel standing there?

"Your faith will make you strong," said God.
"Your search for love will see you through."
"I once moved the sea for Moses."
"I shall do the same for you."

Faith can move a mountain,
And build bridges across the sea.
Trust in Him as you should,
And believe in destiny.
