 When Angels Step Aside
By George Thurlow
I close my eyes in worship... Then I'm before your throne. Through the Blood of Jesus Your Grace has led me home. I sing the song... "Amazing Grace," And "the angels step aside"...** For only a Blood-washed sinner Knows how it feels inside. I'm rescued from the pit of hell, No longer an enemy. My feet are treading Holy ground; I'm sanctified and free! Showered in His precious Blood, Thoroughly white and clean... The vileness of my sinful past, Now a sparkling sheen. I can look into my Savior's eyes With thankfulness and pride, And sing to Him that song of love While angels step aside.
*This poem was put to music by Diane Fenderson and is featured on her CD "I'll Trust The Potter's Hand 2012.
**Poem inspired by words of Rev. M.L. Mitchell of Faith Lighthouse Assembly of God in Old Orchard Beach, Maine~ "the angels have to step aside".
