Angels watching over me

Sophia tonight asked for a change in our bedtime routine. Normally, we sing "Children of the Heavenly Father" and Barney's "I Love You" song. Tonight, she asked for her Nana's song, "Angels watching over me". It was a timely request since today is the feast of Michael and All Angels. The Bible speaks of angels who worship God in heaven and throughout the Bible angels serve as messengers for God. They speak God's words of promise to Mary, that she will bear the Messiah. They proclaim Jesus' birth to the shepherds. Most of our statues of angels seem to portray them as women, but in the Bible, all the angels have masculine names. They are beings of power and majesty, bearers of God's word. And so tonight, on the feast of Michael and all angels, I sang:
All night, all day, angels watchin' over me, my Lord.
All night, all day, angels watchin' over me.
