In loving memory of Clark--his free and happy spirit inspired everyone who met him.
lyrics
ANGELS ARE CHEERING
I’ve been feelin’ kind of down
All my hopes have run aground
And no one anywhere will listen.
How can God be real?
How come people never kneel?
But they’ll step on you to gain the world.
Heavenly Father can you hear me?
I’m drownin’ right now.
I wish I could be near thee,
But I just can’t seem to figure out how.
The night was cold dark and bleak,
An icy wind bit my cheek,
The silent snow a whispering call.
And as I fell to my knees,
I desperately cried please—
Please if you’re there I need to know.
Then as I looked up I beheld stars and galaxies, and I thought I heard...
Angels, Cheering,
“We want you to hold on!"
Oohs
(musical interlude)
I got a call from my friend Clark
he said, “I’m feeling awfully dark,
This cancer’s finally takin’ me.
I’ve been fighting my whole life,
Got two kids and a dear wife,
When will my prayers be heard on high?
Heavenly Father can you hear me? The angels are cheering
I’m drownin’ right now. They want you to hold on.
I wish I could be near thee, The angels are cheering for you
But I just can’t seem to figure out how. Every time you lift the one.
How can I know your words are true?
Just can’t see through this foggy hue,
Life’s shadows are surrounding me.
But as I focus on His light like the dawn of endless night,
I hear their song, it sets me free…
I hear Angels Cheering,
“We want you to hold on,
Trust God,
Believe in good things to come!”
