Prayers for Erin

I know so many of you have been faithfully praying for Erin Page. Today has been a super tough day for her and the doctors told the family they've done all they can do and that the ecmo machine just isn't doing what it's supposed to do. The doctor's were saying she could hang on for minutes or hours...so far she's still hanging on. God can still do miracles!

As I was driving around today, listening to my Alathea CD, I heard this song and it made me think of Erin.
One More Angel
by: Alathea
Fly home little nightingale
Fly home and restYou gave your all
You gave all your best
You blazed with beauty like an autumn mountainside
You lost your leaves and ran out of time,
You ran out of time
You left us dark down here but the sunset burns bright
You flew to Jesus up there
Now there’s one more angel in heaven tonight,
Angel in heaven tonight
I don’t mourn for you
I grieve for us
‘Cause you’ve gained everything
But you is what we’ve lost
The springtime’s here and the flowers are in bloom
But it’s a gray season
‘cause we don’t have you,
We don’t have you
You left us dark down here but the sunset burns bright
You flew to Jesus up there
Now there’s one more angel in heaven tonight,
Angel in heaven
Tonight, every moment is marked with your absence
And every tear that falls falls for your lingering presence
I feel like you’ll walk through the door
I smell you on all of your clothes
I curse the day my memory lets you go
My angel, my angel, angel, my angel
You left us dark down here but the sunset burns bright
You flew to Jesus up there
Now there’s one more angel in heaven tonight,
You left us dark down here but the sunset burns bright
You flew to Jesus up there
Now there’s one more angel in heaven tonight,
Angel in heaven tonight
Fly home little nightingale,
fly home and rest.
