Angels Standing By
The Lord has given Angels charge
To carry out His will;
Excelling in His Word at large,
Their commission to fulfill.
They minister on our behalf,
By Jesus we are heirs.
How wonderful God’s master plan,
Provisions for our care.
In sovereignty God reigns supreme,
Yet honors what we choose;
His plans to be our destiny
Or if we will refuse.
Now set before you, life or death…
All of heaven standing by,
Choices you make will take affect,
Commissioned from on high.
