|
"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
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
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
|
God, 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
|
|
[Chorus 2x]
|
|
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
|
