Through Angel's Eyes


5 o'clock and all is well
the clear resonance of the ornate church bell
a little girl, an innocent she
goes round the town playing, happy
under a gentle, orange, cloudy, sky
the world was beautiful through angel's eyes
--
5 o'clock and all is hell
soldiers horde and raid with rebel yells
a little girl, hiding among the debris
thinks to herself: "how can this be?"
under a blood streaked, smokey, anguished sky
the world was broken through angel's eyes

By His Spirit

In fields of gold basked in maroon sky
an image of a man caught the corner of my eye
how glorious, how majestic was He
clothed in splendor, beautiful as can be
as singing breeze and dancing leaves gulfed on mount high
a willow dove wisped through the sky
draped in blood, shed for us
By His Spirit there is hope
To fly over every tree and withering slope
