This is a very sweet song. Does anyone know the significance of James singing it? Is it a true story or just a very beautiful song about St. Jude Hospital? Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

Where Angels Hang Around is one beautiful song. The lyrics are exactly what happened the night my wife and I rushed my daughter and our grandson, Ethan, 7, to Memphis for a brain cancer. The cancer was removed the following day at Le Bohner, next to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Once he was well enough, Ethan was transferred to St. Jude.
He has been at St. Jude since October 2007. He has already finished his three months of radiation and begins phase 3 of chemo next week.
Had St Jude not been there, I have no doubt Ethan would not have survived. St. Jude IS a place of HOPE and POSSIBILITY. There is no despair, no saddness. The kids are so loved by the staff, they look forward to the treatments. I love my grandson so much and am so grateful for St. Jude.
James has created a song for anyone who has faced the challenge of having a child with cancer.
Thanks James, God Bless you.

Where Angels Hang Around
(James Otto / Monty Criswell)

A hundred miles out of Little Rock
Windshield full of rain
I-40 eastbound drivin’ while I pray
She’s asleep in the backseat
Holdin’ tight to her teddy bear
She’s got her daddy’s smile and her momma’s hair
But one word knocked our lives off track
Just one word keeps us comin’ back

Chorus:
Across the Mississippi
A mile or two from Beale Street
Not too far from Graceland
Where the king of rock and roll sleeps
To a place for children
Where God sends his mercy rainin’ down
In the heart of Memphis
Where angels hang around

All the deals I’ve made with God
The conversations that we’ve had
Tryin’ to accept things I could not understand
I wanna walk her down the aisle
While those church bells ring
See her get the chance
To live all her dreams
But one word knocked our lives off track
Just one word keeps us comin’ back

Chorus

So sleep tight baby while these four wheels roll
’Cause just beyond the clouds there’s a ray of hope

There’s a place for children
Where God sends his mercy rainin’ down
In the heart of Memphis
Where angels hang around
