ANGELS REJOICED
C
A house not a home was the
picture Satan painted
F
C
For sweet little sister
and me;
Our daddy would frown
while Mother was praying,
G
C
His heart was so hardened
that he would not believe.
C
F
C
In anger he'd swear, his
voice was so loud,
G
His Sundays were spent out
with the gambling crowd;
C
F
C
I'd never seen my daddy
inside a house of God,
G
C
For Satan held his hand,
down the path of sin he trod.
C
Not long ago our circle
was broken
F
C
When God called our mother
one night;
In a voice sweet and low
her last words were spoken
G
C
Asking our daddy to raise
her children right.
C
F
C
The angels rejoiced in
heaven last night,
G
I heard my daddy praying,
"Dear God, make it right";
C
F
C
He was smiling and singing
with tears in his eyes,
G
C
While Mother with the angels
rejoiced last night.
