Yesterday I listened to an Adventures in Odyssey Focus on the Family Radio Theater drama with a storyline where a man, claiming his name is Malachi, announces that he is an angel--a messenger from God himself.
John Whittaker: "A dream? You mean we won't remember that you were here?"
Malachi: "You'll remember, but only as a vague idea, a premonition...a foreshadowing or a distant emotion. I am your "coincidences" and your "intuition." I am the one that you glimpse out of the corner of your eye and when you turn, nothing is there."
You can listen to it for free here for a limited time, just click around to find Malachi's Message Parts 1-3.
Those episodes plucked on my heart strings so much that I listened to the song Angels by Owl City for extra effect afterward. Angels is one of my favorite songs by Adam Young. And oh, how I tried ever so hard to get the song on here for you to listen to for free this morning! You can find it at Playlist.com, however, some days it works, some days it doesn't.
I decided to post the lyrics of this special song on here though. But really, the experience is just NOT the same unless you actually listen to the song.
Wake me if you're out there!
Through the glass in my bedroom window,
In the bushes far below,
I thought I saw an unfamiliar shadow,
Among the ones I so clearly know.
I've been sleeping with the nightlight unplugged,
With a note on the rocking chair,
That says I'm dreaming of the life I once loved,
So wake me if you're out there.
Living close to the ground,
It's seventh heaven because there are angels all around,
Among my frivolous thoughts,
I believe there are beautiful things seen by the astronauts.
So wake me if you're out there!
Wake me if you're out there!
In the dust on my cellar staircase,
A pair of footprints followed me,
I saw a flicker in the fake fireplace,
Blinked again, but there was nothing to see.
I've been leaving all the windows unlocked,
With a basket by the oak tree,
'Cause I'll be picking up the acorns that fall off,
If you'll be climbing up to meet me.
Living close to the ground!
It's seventh heaven because there are angels all around,
Among my frivolous thoughts,
I believe there are beautiful things seen by the astronauts.
So wake me if you're out there!
I keep my knees black and blue 'cause they often hit the hardwood floor,
(Wake me if you're out there),
And I believe, so I'm not praying to the ceiling anymore,
I've been sleeping with the nightlight unplugged,
With a note on the rocking chair that says I'm dreaming of the life I once loved,
So wake me if you're out there.
Living close to the ground!
It's seventh heaven 'cause there are angels all around,
Among my frivolous thoughts,
I believe there are beautiful things seen by the astronauts!
The indications reveal,
(Wake me if you're out there),
That few of us realize life is quite surreal,
So if you're dying to see,
I guarantee there are angels around your vicinity!
So if you're dying to see,
I guarantee there are angels around your vicinity.
