You were a stranger, a lady of the street who came to church one day
You opened the door and before you entered the smell of urine filled the room
and It took my breath away

I was singing in the corner as I watched you take a chair
Then many others entered and it was visible to see that they smelt you, moved across the room as to sit beside you they obviously could not bear

I felt the nudge to sit with you, to greet you offer care .
I quietly made my way over as we entered into prayer and
God completely took away the stench as soon I sat there !

You never spoke a word to me and I didn't ask your name but as I sat quietly beside you I really felt your pain

When the service ended you waited patiently to eat, then when others left I fetched a bowl of water to soak your bleeding feet

The time then came when I had to say goodbye and as I gently touched your hand you looked straight into my eyes.... then much to my great surprise
You drew in close, kissed me on my cheek ..and right there, right then, I came to realise
That you were a Angel in disguise
