I Wrestled with an Angel!!

He came to me while I was fast asleep,

With promises of blessings I would reap.

A bright future was shown before my eyes,

Such wondrous words that caught me by surprise!

He turned to leave when all his words were done,

I shouted, "Wait, the night has just begun"!

I reached for him and would not lose my hold,

Until he blessed me, as in the days of old.

(Chorus)

I wrestled with the messenger of light,

I held him close throughout the long, dark night.

I'll remember all the wonders he foretold,

A future filled with blessings to unfold.

I ran to him and grabbed him with my might,

We wrestled through the darkness until light.

I held him tight and begged him not to go,

I long to hear the things I need to know.

He fought to free himself from my tight grip,

But I would not surrender, not one slip.

We wrestled while the stars were shining bright,

I would not let him disappear from my sight!

(Chorus)

I wrestled with the messenger of light,

I held him close throughout the long, dark night.

I'll remember all the wonders he foretold,

A future filled with blessings to unfold.

At last he freed himself from my strong hold,

And spoke the words that made my heart feel bold.

Remember all the things that I have said,

The future's waiting on the narrow path ahead!

(Bridge)

I wrestled till the dawn began to break,

I grew more weak with every move I'd make.

He freed himself and formed the wings of a bird,

(Spoken words)

"You'll find your wisdom in God's Holy Word."

(Chorus)

I wrestled with the messenger of light,

I held him close throughout the long, dark night.

I'll remember all the wonders he foretold,

A future filled with blessings to unfold.

I wrestled with the angel and would not let him go,

I longed to hear each truth that he came to show.

Though he slipped from me and faded from sight,

His words still guide my steps toward what is right.

I wrestled with the messenger of light,

I held him close throughout the long, dark night.

I'll remember all the wonders he foretold,

A future filled with blessings to unfold.

I wrestled with the angel and would not let him go,

I longed to hear each truth that he came to show.

Though he slipped from me and faded from sight,

His words still guide my steps toward what is right.
