Your Angel Tag

 

As I sat the other day

To make these little gifts,

I tried to think of something neat

To call them for the kids.

 

I tried and tried to no avail

To come up with a name,

And that’s when something in my heart

Had told me just to pray.

 

So as I sat and made these gifts

I talked a while with Him,

I prayed He keep our children safe

Protect them from all sin.

 

That’s when my eyes began to tear

A lump grew in my throat,

The Lord began to talk to me

As I felt the Holy Ghost.

 

He started to reveal to me

Some things about this gift,

I listened in amazement

As He went down the list.

 

He pointed out the cord I used

Was military grade,

Which was perfect for His army

For which these kids were made.

 

He said inside this single cord

Are seven more for strength,

That numbers no coincidence

I’ll go to any length.

 

To see one cord that’s all undone

It doesn’t look like much,

But as you wrap and tightly weave

My child no one can touch.

 

So now you know this gift you’ve made

Has not been made by chance,

Each part of it has meaning

If you’ll take a second glance

 

Then as I tied the last one up

And put it in my bag,

The Lord gave me the name for these

This is your Angel Tag.
