Entertain an Angel Words and Music by: Mark Eskey and Steve McCormick Verse 1 At the front of the line stood a poorly dressed man Fumbling for change empty gas can in-hand Those standing behind him were rolling their eyes He felt pressured to leave and I watched him walk by As he passed me I felt a sadness inside That maybe his day had been much worse than mine On my way out the door I passed him again This time I reached out with a five in my hand Pre Chorus 1 He smiled and he said he had all that he needed I knew in that moment there was more to this meeting Chorus You never know when you entertain an angel You never know when they’re holding your hand So next time you walk by the less fortunate try to understand Extend your hand and your spirit will fly Verse 2 In a Laundromat faced with a week’s worth of clothes She fights back her tears as the stress starts to show A young mother and child with another on the way Not sure she’ll find the strength to get through this day Pre Chorus 2 From across the room an woman offers a smile She asks if she can hold him, for maybe just a while Chorus You never know when you entertain an angel You never know when they’re holding your hand So next time you walk by the less fortunate try to understand Extend your hand and your spirit will fly Bridge Sometimes you have to wonder If things are always what they seem When you feel it in your heart and you believe Chorus You never know when you entertain an angel You never know when they’re holding your hand So next time you walk by the less fortunate try to understand Extend your hand and your spirit will fly
