I was walking home from school
on a cold winter day
took a short cut through the woods
and I lost my way.
It was gettin' late
and I was scared and alone.
But then a kind old man
took my hand and led me home.
Momma couldn't see him,
but he was standin' there.
I Knew in my Heart he was
the answer to my prayers.
(oh,) I Believe there are Angels Among Us
sent down to us from some where up above.
They come to you and me
in our darkest hours
to show us how to live,
to teach us how to give,
to guide us with a light of love.
When life held troubled times
and had me down on my knees,
There's always been someone
to come along and comfort me.
A kind word from a stranger
to lend a helping hand
a phone call from a friend
just to say, "I understand."
Ain't it kinda funny
at the dark end of the road
someone lights the way with just
a single ray of hope.
They wear so many faces,
show up in the strangest places,
grace us with their mercies
in our time of need.
