Angels

As I was cleaning my hose today for my daughters upcoming birthday party I turned on my IPOD and the first song that came on was from Amy Grant in 1984..Angels. I have heard it many times growing up and yet as it played I got goose bumps and tears in my eyes. Just like when I read a story in the Bible that I have heard many times and yet I see it with new eyes. What a blessing it is that His word will always be new and exciting.



(For my last birthday my sister gave me the CD The Collection by Amy Grant. What a blast it has been listening to it. Thank you Tree for being a part of my past and knowing what brings me joy in the present and the endless possibilities before us in the future. Love Ya!!)

"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 fightTo keep my fight 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,Angles 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....
