| 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 |
