Angels Watching Over
Me

"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....
