From God, with Love

God called upon a cherub
An angel from his cast
"I have given you great gifts, my son"
"Now, shall you accept a task?"

"Your brethren below no longer hear
The voice they knew as mine
But the music I've placed in your soul
Can breach gap 'tween human and divine

You'll see war, and you'll see suffering
You will share their pain
You'll be placed upon a pedestal
Then torn back down again

They will call you things so very far
From what we'll know is true
But if you will only persevere
I'll be there with you

But this, my beloved
Is a mission of pure love
You will be the vessel
That spreads it from above

But I cannot force this on you
For the road is harsh and long
And so I ask you, seraphim
Will you sing my songs?"

Not a moment did he hesitate
This little servant of God
And as he knelt before his Lord
He gave a silent nod

Fifty years he walked the Earth
Millions heard his call
And with his one God gifted voice
He truly touched them all

His gracious feet upon a path
He chose in heaven above
He conveyed his message beautifully
And reminded us how to love

And when God saw how he suffered
To let His love light glow
He called out to his angel
"Well done. Time to come home"

Lord, I am but one of many
Who heard you in Michael's tones
And oh the difference he did make
Only You can ever know

He did it like no other could
Your will he tirelessly served
So please, comfort those left behind
Show him the reward he deserves

Take him gently in Your arms
Tell him You are pleased
And for we who go on without him
Our heartache may be eased

Tell him we are sorry
For all that he went through
But tell him too he managed
To get Your message through

Tell him that we love him
And we miss him everyday
But we know one day we'll meet him
In the paradise he dwells in today

NOW AND FOREVER, WE LOVE YOU MICHAEL
