My poor heart was heavy,

my poor heart was stone.

Then I heard them - they were angels,

and they were singing: you're not alone.

There is a peace

you've never known.

I could hear trumpets,

I could hear them blow.

Then the angels summoned chariots,

the angels told them

swing, swing low

the angels told them

swing, swing low

Sweet gospel music

carry this boy, away from danger

Sweet gospel music

carry this boy, towards the light

Sweet gospel music

carry this boy, away from danger

Sweet gospel music

carry him home tonight

If your heart is heavy,

if your heart is stone,

may you hear them - they are angels.

They may be singing about a throne,

about a peace, in the never-known.

Sweet gospel music

carry this boy, away from danger
Sweet gospel music

carry this boy, towards the light

Sweet gospel music

carry this boy, away from danger

Sweet gospel music

carry him home tonight
Sweet gospel music

carry this boy, away from danger

Sweet gospel music

carry this boy, towards the light

Sweet gospel music

carry this boy, away from danger
Sweet gospel music

carry him home tonight
