Hello everyone,

Have you had a chance to read our new revival play, "Come Fill My Heart"?
I hope you will.  If you had read it before today, you might have noticed
that there was a song missing.  That song was "Ten Thousand Angels" by
Lynn Cooper.  Rhesa Siregar and I have finally finished the midi for "Ten
Thousand Angels".  You can visit the song page at:

    http://songsofpraise.org/angels.htm

Please check it out and also visit Lynn's mp3 page where you can hear her
wonderful voice:

When you visit the "Angels" song page you will see a beautiful painting by
Canadian artist Brenda Hoddinott.  The painting is entitled "Imagine" and
is a portrait of a young lady.  When I saw the painting, the first thing I
thought of was "Juanitta" in our play.  I asked Brenda if I could use the
painting and she was very agreeable to the idea.  So enjoy the painting
and visit Brenda's site for more beautiful art:

BTW, the CD for "Come Fill My Heart" is ready and can be ordered at:

    http://songsofpraise.org/order.htm

It includes "Ten Thousand Angels" and 9 other original songs, with
accompaniment tracks for most of the songs.

=============================================================

TEN THOUSAND ANGELS
Copyright © 1997 Lynn Cooper/HeavenSent Productions (used by permission)

(Verse 1)
I know you're hurting,
I can see it in your eyes.
There's nothing I can say or do
to ease your heart or mind,
But there's someone you can talk to,
He'll come and ease your pain.
He knows your every thought and prayer,
Just call upon His name.

(Chorus)
May He send ten thousand angels strong
To comfort you and guide you through this storm.
May He send ten thousand angels strong
To strengthen you, and guide you through this storm.

(Verse 2)
He understands the broken heart,
The suffering of the soul,
And in this crazy stormy night,
Yes, God is in control.
So let Him take this cross for you.
Your burdens He'll make light,
And to the top of Calvary's hill
Your fears be released tonight.

(Repeat Chorus)
May He send ten thousand angels strong
To comfort you and guide you through this storm.
May He send ten thousand angels strong
To strengthen you, and guide you through this storm.

(Guitar Solo)

(Modified Chorus)
May He send ten thousand angels strong
To comfort you and guide you through this storm
To strengthen you, and guide you through this storm.

(Ending)
Rock-a-bye dear child of God
With a blanket of stars above.
Sleep sound in Jesus,
in the arms of His love.

=============================================================

That's all for today.  God bless you all...

Yours in Christ,
Elton Smith
