My angel walks so near to me,

I feel him close beside.

He strengthens and he cheers me.

His presence not denied.

Sometimes he is so needed,

He walks me through the day.

Bad thoughts he keeps receded,

And keeps the clouds at bay.

You’ll see him just by my side.

Hand in hand within sunshine,

He matches stride for stride.

And just seems to fall in line,

A shadow some may call him,

But he's my special angel own.

Protecting with his phantom limb,

From heavens throne he’s flown.

His presence I can feel,

As we walk the path of life.

He’s there to help with each ordeal,

To mellow out the strife,

So thank you Lord for sending him,

To walk along beside.

I send you back a little hymn,

My Lord as we walk far and wide.
