An angel walks beside her Through the dusty Haitian streets Her school books get so heavy And she's weary from the heat But she looks for all the beauty she can trace In a harsh and hopeless place There's a reason for believing
Chorus:
And, oh, how you bless my soul As I've watched a holy love entwine you Faith like flowers grow And now, all the blossoms bloom I believe in miracles each time I look at you Heaven knows, you're a little rose My little rose
On the morning I first met her, she was just a child of ten And orphan like so many others lost upon the wind And I knew my world would never be the same She said, "Dina is my name" And I held her like a daughter
[repeat Chorus]
Though the land and sky and water stand between us Still a father's love can reach across the miles And if we never meet again you can be sure When we finally step through heaven's shining door Of all the saints, all the faces, you're the first I'll look for
[repeat Chorus]
Now an angel walks beside her Through the dusty Haitian streets
