Epic Song - "Little Light": a song for Kate McRae by Audrey Assad

I came across this song in a roundabout way (as I normally do). After discovering that contemporary christian musician Matt Maher was Catholic, I decided to do a search and see if their were any other Catholics in a predominantly protestant music genre. The name that kept popping up as an up-and-coming talent was a girl named Audrey Assad. Audrey wrote this song "Little Light" specially for Kate McRae when she learned of her cancer diagnosis. What a tender and moving song.

Look at all the angels watching you
They’re singing songs that we have never heard
Their voices ring like bells over the mountains
Oh, if only we could hear their words
God is near, little girl.

Your eyes are brilliant,deep sky blue.
Your quiet wisdom is an evening song.
The angels must be breathless at your beauty
Like the world catches its breath before the dawn.
God is near, little one.

Jesus bends to hear you breathe
His tender hands are holding you tonight
His heart is ravished when you look at Him,
and oh, the endless mercy in His eyes
God is here, little light
