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 fight 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,
Angles 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....
