Don't Need Another Angel

When they told me my child was dying I found religon
Down on my knees I prayed for the first time

Dear God
Why does my child have to die
there are so many with evil in their hearts
and yet you do not take them, they even hide in the church
This child only know a parents love, this child My child
Please God: You don't need another Angel

I cried through the night
ashamed that I could do nothing for my child
The life that  I had brought into this world
Was dying, was it something I did that caused this
Did I commit some Sin that cost my child's life
I got no answers, No relief was forth coming

I grew more angry as days passed and my child life grew weaker
the doctors saying that my childs heart was failing
It was in the hands of God the preacher said
So I found my Knees once more

GOD
This is my child, He is my angel
I have not had enough time with my child
You will have him forever, Please you Don't Need Another angel

Then something happened, Doctor's told me they found a heart
they rushed my child to surgry and for hours I sat alone
I wondered if my prayers were answered and i guess they where
But someone had to die, for my child to live

God took another angel, in doing so my child survived
My child will grow old now and live a life unknown
But one thing I am sure of, God Don't Need another Angel
It was I who needed one.
