Song "Angels Among Us" by Alabama
Johnny
Are the fields of heaven greener?
Than anything you’ve seen?
And the rivers, since you’ve been there,
Do they glisten from God’s sheen?
And the flowers, Johnny, are they
Like a rainbow, splashed with dew?
When you’re laughing, do the petals
Brush your arms, as you dance through?
When you whisper to the angels
And behold the marching saints
Do they stand with you astonished
Watching Jesus as He paints?
Are you helping Him with autumn?
With His palette on your knee,
Casting newer shades of orange
On each sleepy, wondrous tree
As you’re resting on a mountain
Looking down, as we trod on
Are you singing with the angels
Talking to the Lord in song?
And the cherubs, are they cheering
As you run past heaven’s bases
Do you stop and marvel Johnny
At their sweet, angelic faces?
As you’re flying little Jon Jon
High above the moon, can you
Hear the chants of Happy Birthday
As you’re turning twenty-two
Hear, as well, my earthly wishes
Know that since you did depart
You are always with me Johnny
Flying high within my heart!
