| ![]() Mama, Did You See the Angel? Words and Music Kathryn Roberson Stephen Robert Cass © 1999 Solid Walnut Music / ASCAP All Rights Reserved. A gray haired man in his cold, hard bed No movement in his lifeless face When a messenger descends from grace And whispers sweet peace in his ear Billy sensed that God was near Mama, did you see the angel? He cried out in his sleep Mama did you see the angel? She held his hand and tried not to weep Mama did you see the angel watching over me? (Coming just for me?) As the time drew near for the journey home God's messenger calmed Billy's fears The tears streamed down his sweet wife's cheek As he opened tired eyes to see He whispered 'Jesus' in her ear Billy knew that God was near Mama I'm ready to go Please don't be so sad I'm hear with the Lord And Mama I've never been so glad So Mama, please don't be so sad |
