take this man to prison the man her hair would say
and in four squads the soldiers came
and carried him away
chained up between two watchmen peter tried to sleep
but beyond the walls an endless prayer
was looking for his keep
then light cut through the darkness
of a lonely prison cell
and the dreams that bound the man of god
just opened up and fell
and running to his people before the break of day
god is angels watching over me
every step i take angels watching over me
god is angels watching over me
every move i make 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
new misses all around me
accidents unknown though i never see
with human eyes their hands they lead me home
but i know they're all around me
going through the night when the enemy is closing in
i know sometimes they fight
to keep my feet from falling
and i'll never turn away
but if is protecting me and you're gonna hear me say
god is angels watching over me
every step i take angels watching over me
god is angels watching over me
every move i make angels watching over me
angels watching over me
angels watching over me
god is angels watching over me
every step i take angels watching over me
god is angels watching over me every
move i make angels watching over me
me
angels watching over me
angels watching over me
angels watching over me
angels watching over me
though i never see with you and i
the hands will lead me home
