Behind the lyrics of "Need An Angel"

My first single has been released! This is an exciting time for me! Follow this link to my song on iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/us/alb​um/need-an-angel-single/id4474​61510

Many people have asked what I wrote the song about, so here are the answers!

With most of my songs, the chorus comes to me first. It usually is just how I'm feeling that day. "Need An Angel" was no different. Sometimes, we just need an angel! I know many times in my life that I felt like everything was too much for me, and I just called on God. The great news is that He is always there when we call him! The day I wrote the chorus was a day that I was going too many places at once with too much to do and screaming toddlers. I needed an Angel!

Verse One is about no one in particular...it's just a story that came to me. I believe that inspiration for my lyrics are messages from God to someone that I may never meet. Somewhere, there is a woman driving down the highway looking for peace, and maybe she'll hear this song and pray to God. :-)

Verse Two is about when my oldest son was born. I had pre-eclampsia and he had meconium in his amniotic fluid. It was a little scary, but we had a great team of doctors and prayer on our side. I'm sure that Angels surrounded that delivery room.

If you ever need an angel, call on the Lord! He will surely hear your cries and send an angel to your side. His love and warmth will surround you in all your times of need, you need only close your eyes and hit your knees!
