AMY GRANT - Angels lyrics

"Take this man to prison," the man heard Herod say

And then four squads of soldiers came and carried him away

Chained up between two watchmen, Peter tried to sleep

But beyond the walls an endless prayer was lifting for his keep

Then a light cut through the darkness of a lonely prison cell

And the chains that bound the man of God just opened up and fell

And running to his people before the break of day

There was only one thing on his mind, only one thing to say

[Chorus:]

Angels watching over me every move I make

Angels watching over me

Angels watching over me every step I take

Angels watching over me

God only knows the times my life was threatened just today

A reckless car ran out of gas before it ran my way

Near misses all around me, accidents unknown

Though I never see with human eyes the hands that lead me home

God, I know they're all around me all day and through the night

When the enemy is closing in I know sometimes they fight

To keep my feet from falling I'll never turn away

If you're asking what's protecting me then you're gonna hear me say

[Chorus 2x]

Angels watching over me

Angels watching over me

Angels watching over me

Angels watching over me

Though I never see with human eyes the hands that lead me home
