This short song is a PRAYER for GOD and His ANGELS to protect and keep a LOVED ONE who is going away for a time. It's only an unpolished "Demo" (I played it and sang it at the same time, recording audio, midi, and video simultaneously) but I hope it can share some of my heart and God's with you.
With the changing of a couple of the pronouns (from HER to him or them, and SHE to he or they) it could be sung or played for any "Going Away" event, such as a funeral, a child going off somewhere, perhaps to school or college, a father giving away the bride, or any kind of a 'Sendoff' occasion.
The tune and words of the song started coming to me recently as I was watching my lovely wife Janice drive out our driveway with our daughter Anna, who was taking her to the Philadelphia airport, so she could make an earlier-than-we-had-expected flight to Colorado for a couple of weeks to help at a friend's birth (Janice is a Certified Doula). A sweet song, for my sweet lady!
