Angel On Your Shoulder

I’m sending God my resume in hopes that He’ll review
The things that I’ve accomplished, all the things I’ve learned to do,
For if I ever prove myself as truly one of His
I just may get the job I want, and here is what it is...

An angel on your shoulder, it’s the thing I want to be-
To whisper in your ears each day how much you mean to me-
To be there watching over you, to kiss you when you pray,
To tell you of God’s love for you and this is what I’d say...

There’s always been a reason for the things you feel inside-
Your every moment matters, every tear you ever cried
Is kept as precious diamonds in a ring you will receive-
Till then I want to take the job of helping you believe-

An angel on your shoulder, it’s the thing I want to be-
To whisper in your ears each day how much you mean to me.
You really are so special there is every reason why
If ever there’s an opening I promise to apply.
