The song Angel’s Wish by Steven Curtis Chapman really struck me.
It talks about the things that Angels know about heaven…
Things that no people have seen…on the other hand, it talks about the things that the angels haven’t experienced such as the love of the Savior and the grace of God.
I lived in darkness for years and spent half of my lifetime sinning.
I’ve been in bondage with endless transgressions. It was a murky world where I was…
But God gave His only begotten Son to come down to earth and save me from damnation. I was bathed with the blood of Jesus who took my place at the cross and sacrificed his life…
The grace that God has given to me…The gift of love and salvation…
The overflowing mercies…and how God carried me on the lowliest part of my life…
These are things that angels can only wish they knew…
Here is the song:
Angel’s Wish
Steven Curtis Chapman
Was God smiling when He spoke the word and made the world?
And did He cry about the flood?
What does God's voice sound like when He sings, when He's angry?
These are just a few things that the angels have on me
Well, I can't fly at least not yet
I've got no halo on my head
And I can't even start to picture heaven's beauty
But I've been shown the Savior's love
The Grace of God has raised me up
To show me things the angels long to look into
And I know things the Angels only wish they knew
I have seen the dark and desperate place where sin will take you
I've felt loneliness and shame
And I have watched the blinding light of grace
Come breaking through with a sweetness only tasted
By the forgiven and redeemed
And someday I'll sit down with my angel friends
Up in heaven
And they'll tell me about Creation
And I'll tell them a story of Grace
Well, I can't fly at least not yet
I've got no halo on my head
And I can't even start to picture heaven's beauty
But I've been shown a Savior's love
The Grace of God has raised me up
To show me things the angels long to look into
And I know things the Angels only wish they knew
