Messengers

Oh, to be a messenger . . .
 
To bring the news to Abraham
          That Sarah’s time is come;
To call his name just when his hand
          Is raised to slay his son;
Climb Jacob’s ladder in the night;
          Call Moses from the flame;
Watch Balaam’s donkey save his life
          When she cries out his name.
 
 
Oh, to be a messenger . . .
 
To rescue Daniel when he’s cast
          Into the lion’s den;
The children from the furnace blast
          When they refuse to bend.
Appear to Mary, telling her
          That she will soon conceive,
And Joseph, also, to endure
          And that he should not leave.
 
 
Oh, to be a messenger . . .
 
Escape with Peter from his cell,
          His jailers and his chains;
Rejoice in all the news to tell
          The shepherds in the plains.
To stand before the entrance where
          His body once was lain,
And tell the ones who gather there
          That Jesus lives again.
 
 
Oh, let me be a messenger — 
          An angel in disguise;
To say what You would have me to,
          To see things through Your eyes.
Yes, let me be Your messenger — 
          A beacon in the night;
To be the one You call upon
          To spread a bit of light.
