When Frannie was very young
Almighty God, we entrust all who are dear to us to thy never-failing care and love, for this life and the life to come, knowing that thou art doing for them better things than we can desire or pray for; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
She don’t know how to lie or undermine you
She don’t know how to steal
How to deal or deceive
So leave her alone
Set her free
Cause she’s speaking with the angel
Speaking with the angel that only she can see
You’d say she’s so helpless
But what about you?
You don’t pull the string
Don’t you know anything?
Leave her alone, let her be
Cause she’s speaking with the angel
Speaking with the angel that only she can see
Would you teach her ’bout heaven?
Would you show her how to love the earth?
Would you poison her with prejudice
From the moment of her birth?
She in the name of love
In the blood of the Lamb
She that never lays blame
She don’t even know her name
So leave her alone
Set her free
Cause she’s speaking with the angel
Speaking with the angel
The very one
That spoke to you and me
Oh do you remember?
