I remember one time when I was between gigs or jobs, and had no money...I went to my door and there on my porch was a big box of food..literally a week's worth of stuff...dog food and everything, It was from my beautiful friend, LaurieAnn Blanchard. I'll never forget that gesture of kindness..and Laur..I miss you and think of you often. That day I wrote this song and recorded it with Cathryn on a little cassette recorder. Thanks Cath...and Laur. Love you both.

ANGEL OF MERCY

OH ANGEL OF MERCY AM I DESERVING?
OF GIFTS THAT YOU BRING ME
I FEEL SO UNWORTHY…
OH ANGEL OF MERCY
YOU ALWAYS ARRIVE JUST IN TIME
THANK YOU ANGEL SO DEAR

ANGEL OF MERCY YOU HAVE SO MUCH WORK, SEE
THIS WORLD’S FULL OF PEOPLE
WHO HURT MORE THAN ME
OH MY ANGEL OF MERCY
TEND TO THEM FIRST, SEE
THEM THRU I WILL WAIT FOR YOU HERE

ANGEL OF MERCY I KNOW WHO YOU ARE
YOU ARE THE LIGHT FROM ABOVE
ANGEL OF MERCY MY HEAVENLY STAR
YOU ARE FAITH, YOU ARE HOPE
YOU ARE LOVE

ANGEL OF MERCY PLEASE DON’T DESERT ME
I’LL SHARE YOUR BLESSINGS
WITH THOSE WHO ARE POORER
MY BEAUTIFUL SAVIOUR
MY GIVER OF GRACE, YOU’RE
MY ANGEL OF MERCY MY LORD

MY BEAUTIFUL SAVIOUR
MY GIVER OF GRACE, YOU’RE
MY ANGEL OF MERCY…MY LORD
