My Journey to God

My Guardian Angel

My guardian angel came to me
From the heavenly realms above
God sent him for me and me alone
He has been with me since my first breath.

God sent him to guide me and to protect me
On the long faith journey of my life
My angel helps me to open my heart
To his nudges that keep me on the right path.

During the times when I am feeling lonely and blue
I know of his presence and he is close to me
Even when I feel that my path to God is not clear
My guardian angel is with me and I have nothing to fear.

My beautiful guardian angel is ever near
Watching over me day and night
Prompting me to always do what’s right
With my angel by my side I grow closer to God.
