Every now and then a song comes along which really makes me reflect deeply. This is one such song…

Angels Wish (Steven Curtis Chapman, from All Things New LP)

Was God smiling

When He spoke the words

That made the world

And did he cry about the flood

And what does God’s voice sound like

When He sings, when He’s angry

These are just a few things

That the angels have on me

Chorus:

Well, I can’t fly

At least not yet

I’ve got no halo on my head

And I can’t even start to picture Heaven’s beauty

But I’ve been shown the Savior’s love

The grace of God has raised me up

To show me things the angels long to look into

And I know things

The angels only wish they knew

I have seen the dark and desperate place

Where sin will take you

I’ve felt loneliness and shame

And I have watched the blinding light of grace

Come breaking through with a sweetness

Only tasted by the forgiven and redeemed

(repeat chorus)

And someday I’ll sit down with my angel friends

Up in Heaven

They’ll tell me about creation

And I’ll tell them a story of grace

(repeat chorus)
