Amy Grant - Angels Lyrics






"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

    hell aint followed by an o
    so
    hi Tiffany
    ...

    Prayers
    Are appreciated
    Could you please
    Include us in yours
    Feel free to ask who us
    Is
    Eternally is always
    Ready

    We all have problems
    We will try to remember
    To keep you in our prayers

    How about this
    When
    We
    Pray
    It is for the body
    Of
    Christ

    If you believe in Jesus Christ you are part
    Of
    The body
    Of
    Christ its really hard visualizing the truth ... Well we cant see into heaven ... But Jesus Christ went to prepare an place for us.

    Art then
    Love Victory
    Peace
    Surrounding us you know
    ...

    Love, love, love this song. Every word is true, well written song with catchy melody. Hadn't heard it in a long time but love as much now as I did back then. ❤

  8. C.... G....

    Thank You Father for sending your Angels to watch over me on -(August 16, 2018) and many other times I've lost count. On this day, I was Overwhelmed by God's Magnificent Power! He was in Total Control and kept me from being in what could have been my demise in a horrific auto accident! Whoever says there is NO GOD needs to experience this miracle that I experienced up close!

    slay amy. i am your number one fan! ❤️ #amygrant

    My mom use to sing this to me when she had to drop me off at my abusive dads house to calm me down. At that time, I was between 6 and 12, and I had such terrible anxiety that would cause me to have such horrible sicknesses, but this song always gave me hope through the pain. I’d sing it to myself to keep my head clear while my dad would drink or do drugs and beat my brothers and I. These lyrics reminded me that the Lord has always had His angels and His Spirit watching over me and my brothers through those times, guiding us as we dodged death at the young ages we were. This song serves for me as a reminder of the hope I was given to be able to face whatever calamity in my life that would surface to cause me or the ones I love harm. Without this reminder, I would have been gone a long time ago, but now I couldn’t be more thankful than I am today to say that the greatest love of my life is the One who gave His life for me. :)

    K.... V....

    Just goes to show that God is very active in our lives! Take that, atheists!

    K.... V....

    I too am a diabetic. My problem is the other extreme-----too high even after 12 hour fast! But God is much bigger than my glucose levels! He is actively involved in every aspect of your life, including blood sugar levels! He is bigger than your diabetes and my diabetes. Seek Him and He will reveal Himself to you!!!!!!!!!

    Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?  Hebrews 1:14

  26. L.... ....

    In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”  Luke 15:10

  27. L.... ....

    The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them.  Psalm 34:7

  28. e.... ....

    Angels watching over me every move I make!
    Angels watching over me every step I take!
    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!

  33. 1.... ....

    This is a good response to this music we have to pray everyday:

    Angel of God, my guardian dear,
    to whom his love entrust me here,
    ever this day be at my side,
    to light and guard, to rule and guide,
    from sinful stain, O keep me free,
    and at death's hour my helper be.
    AMEN.
    God bless.
