@guitar-picker: Thanks a bunch for finding words and taking the time to tell us what you think Bob. And coming from a fellow skilled musician like yourself is an honor. Durge

@guitar-picker: Thank you Bob! This was Durge's exquisite writing, and I was all too happy to merely add a few nuances.. but he lead the way on this beauty, and it was his brainchild. We're so very fortunate to have your support!  Thank you again...  Nat x

This original song expresses the belief that God carries us through life with the help of angels. Though I would never profess to understand these things in any detail, I do feel that angels are all around us as surely as the darkness lurks in every day. With that I recognize that they fight for us but can't always win our battles for us. We have to accept that and know that ultimately the key is that we are never alone and always loved, even if we lose some of our battles.

Lyrics:
When Angels Fail by Craig Durgy

God, He has so much to carry, we reach out to Him in our way
With hopes that hopes won’t soon be buried, for some to fight, for some to pray

With wisdom stretched and torn between us, sight and feeling grown so frail
We trust somehow that He’ll redeem us, even when His Angel’s fail

His legions must be all about us, spreading wings to shield and heal
Evil hunts our hearts to rout us, we make ourselves its ready meal
We make ourselves its ready meal

But angels battle unrelenting, every moment, every nail
So, bear the cross be not lamenting, even when His angels fail

Time is hollow like a reed, reaching from the shadowed depths
Up in the air to breathe, and fill the void with every breath

If not for those that do God’s work, this world would long ago have died
But through the darkness, light preserved, to dry each tear that ever cried
To dry each tear that ever cried

So, when you face your worst despair, impaled upon the Devil’s tail
Fear not for your angel’s there, and through the tears love will prevail

Even when the Angel’s fail
Even when the Angel’s fail
Even when the Angel’s fail
Even when the Angel’s fail
Side by side, love will prevail

When Angels Fail

Two song writers, two kindred spirits... that found each other by pure happenstance and great fortune, to collaborate and create music together.
