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 |
