Jealous of the Angels

There is something I have been trying to say for a while now, but the words just keep escaping me. I lost my dad almost six months ago (November will be six months). I've wanted to share how I'm feeling for a long time, but I can't seem to find the words - I have been listening to the song "Jealous of the Angels" by Jenn Bostic for the last six months and feeling a great peace from it. When I actually looked up the lyrics, I realized it is what I've been trying to say all of this time. I thought I would share both the song and the lyrics with you.

Jenn Bostic – Jealous Of The Angels

I didn’t know today would be our last

Or that I’d have to say goodbye to you so fast

I’m so numb, I can’t feel anymore

Prayin’ you’d just walk back through that door

And tell me that I was only dreamin’

You’re not really gone as long as I believe

 

There will be another angel

Around the throne tonight

Your love lives on inside of me,

And I will hold on tight

It’s not my place to question,

Only God knows why

I’m just jealous of the angels

Around the throne tonight

 

You always made my troubles feel so small
And you were always there to catch me when I'd fall
In a world where heroes come and go
Well God just took the only one I know
So I'll hold you as close as I can
Longing for the day, when I see your face again
But until then

God must need another angel
Around the throne tonight
Your love lives on inside of me
And I will hold on tight
It's not my place to question
Only God knows why
I'm just jealous of the angels
Around the throne tonight

Singin' hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

I'm just jealous of the angels
Around the throne
Tonight
