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
God has
angels watchin' over me
Ev'ry step I take
Angels watchin' over me
God has
angels watchin' over me
Ev'ry move I make
Angels watchin' 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
There are hands that
lead me home
But I know they're all
around me
All day and through
the night
When the enemy is
closin' in
I know sometimes
they fight
To keep my feet from fallin'
And I'll never turn away
But if you're asking
what's protecting me
Then you're gonna
hear me say
God has
angels watchin' over me
Every step I take
Angels watchin' over me
God has
angels watchin' over me
Every move I make
Angels watchin' over me
Angels watchin' over me
Angels watchin' over me
God has
angels watchin' over me
Every step I take
Angels watchin' over me
God has
angels watchin' over me
Every move I make
Angels watchin' over me
Angels watchin' over me
Angels watchin' over me
Angels watchin' over me
Angels watchin' over me
Though I never see
with human eyes
There are hands that
lead me home
