Angels

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

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

But 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

Got His Angels watching over me

Every move I make

Angels watching over me

Angels watching over me

Every step I take

Angels watching over me

Angels watching over me

Angels watching over me

Got His Angels watching over me

Every move I make

Angels watching over me

Angels watching over me

Every step I take

Angels watching over me

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
