I'm just a little angel,
Who didn't quite make it there
I went straight to be with Jesus
But I'm waiting for you here.

Don't you fret about me, mommy
I'm of all God's Lambs most blest
I'd have loved to stay here with you
But the Shepherd knows what's best.

Many dwell where I live
Waited years to enter in
Struggled through a world of sorrow
And their lives were marred with sin.

So sweet mommy, don't you sorrow
Wipe those tears and chase the gloom
I went straight to Jesus' bosom
From my lovely mother's womb.

Thank you for the life you gave me
It was brief but don't complain
I have all of Heaven's glory
Suffered none of earthlings pain.

Thank you for the name you gave me
I'd love to have brought it fame
But if I'd lingered in earth's shadows
Might instead have brought it shame.

Daddy gave me something for you
It's our secret, mommy dear
Pressed it tight against my forehead
Whispered in my tiny ear.

I'll be waiting for you, mommy
I'll be with you then forever
Then I'll give you daddy's kiss.
