Concert

My family went to daughter #2 first concert playing the viola. The concert included the band(alittle out of tune) first year orchestra and then 2nd and 3rd year students....

The choir was up next and before they began daughter#1 and I exchanged glances saying oh no what were we going to be listening to. My niece was in the choir and lets say she did not inherit my singing voice. Let me tell you they were wonderful....One of the numbers they sang was Angels Among Us....I just love that song....so I included the words below so that you can see what we heard....

I was walking home from school on a cold winter day.
Took a shortcut through the woods, and I lost my way.
It was getting late, and I was scared and alone.
But then a kind old man took my hand and led me home.
Mama couldn't see him, but he was standing there.
And I knew in my heart, he was the answer to my prayers.

Chorus
Oh I believe there are angels among us.
Sent down to us from somewhere up above.
They come to you and me in our darkest hours.
To show us how to live, to teach us how to give.
To guide us with a light of love.

When life held troubled times, and had me down on my knees.
Theres always been someone there to come along and comfort me.
A kind word from a stranger, to lend a helping hand.
A phone call from a friend, just to say I understand.
And ain't it kind of funny that at the dark end of the road.
Someone lights the way with just a single ray of hope.

Chorus

They wear so many faces, show up in the strangest places.
To guide us with their mercy, in our time of need.

Chorus
To guide us with a light of love.

It brought tears to my eyes.....and touched my heart....
