A Special Invitation
We invite you to go deeper into the stories that matter most to us…
Do you hear me calling you
The voice of a mother, and a father and a child
Would you recognize the truth
Do you feel a love that’s falling from my eyes?
Take just a minute
Come and rest you by my side
Let me tell you your own story
Let me walk you through your life
Only a second, is all it takes to realize
There’s a hundred thousand angels by your side…
