Tiny Little Feather

 

 

 

Was that a tiny little feather?

From an angel’s wing that fell

Fluttering across my dash board

And then landing on my arm

Did he lose this tiny feather?

As he sheltered me from harm

It felt like wings wrapped around me,

Only moments before it fell

 

 

(Chorus)

Yes we lose many a feather

Your prayers make them grow

So bow your heads dear children

For God’s love us angels know

 

 

Was that a tiny little feather?

From an angel’s wing on high

Floating down from heaven

Blessed by God above

Did the Lord above send him?

To let me know I’m loved

Sending His protection,

From way beyond the sky

  

 

(Chorus)

Yes we lose many a feather

Your prayers make them grow

So bow your heads dear children

For God’s love us angels know

 

 

Was that a tiny little feather?

From an angel’s wing that flew

Floating all around my head

To protect me on my way

Did Jesus write his orders?

That he carried out this day

Against a present danger

That only Jesus knew

 

 

(Chorus)

Yes we lose many a feather

Your prayers make them grow

So bow your heads dear children

For God’s love us angels know

 

 

Was that a tiny little feather?

From an angel’s wing I saw

Fluttering down from heaven

At the instant I did need

Answering the call from Jesus

God’s bidding he did heed

Steering me from danger

That I never saw

 

 

(Chorus)

Yes, we lose many a feather

Your prayers make them grow

So bow your heads dear children

For God’s love us angels know 

 

 

I’m sure that tiny little feather

Was from an angel’s wing

That car that came from nowhere

That I barely missed.

And at that last moment

I felt that I’d been kissed

By a heaven’s angel

Just before he began to sing

 

 

(Chorus)

Yes, we lose many a feather

Your prayers make them grow

So bow your heads dear children

For God’s love us angels know

  

 

If you see a tiny little feather

Floating on the breeze

You’ll know that danger cometh

And this image you must heed

There are angels all around us

Protecting us in our need

Prayers are being answered

By heaven’s own trustees

 

 

(Chorus)

Yes we lose many a feather

Your prayers make them grow

So bow your heads dear children

For God’s love us angels know

  

 

I hold this tiny little feather

I offer up my prayers this day

God protect me from all harm

Each and every day

Write Your words upon my heart

And hear me when I pray

Your child calls upon your name

Send angels down Heaven’s stairway

 

 

(Final Chorus)

Prayers are tiny little feathers

Growing in angels’ wings

So bow your heads dear children

Offer prayers to the King of kings

Nancy, this is so sweet!
I have not seen a tiny white feather in a long time.
I believe they are heaven sent. Well, I can't say I
haven't seen one, for I was gifted one with some other
feathers, last year, but none other have crossed my
path in nature. Good luck in the contest you have
entered this endearing write in.
