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

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

Amy Grant (born November 25, 1960) is an American Christian and pop singer-songwriter and has done some television. She has also sold 30 million albums world wide during her career.

Grant made her debut in 1977 under the guidance of Myrrh Records, and became the first Christian recording act to have an album be certified platinum. Following her marriage to Gary Chapman in 1982 and a subsequent deal between her record company and A&M Records, a series of successful pop-crossover records consolidated her position as both Christian music's highest-selling act and a formidable force in mainstream music, and according to Billboard magazine she was the most successful Christian recording artist of the 1980s and 1990s.



After giving birth to her fourth child Corinna Grant Gill, Grant returned to her gospel music roots with the 2002 release of Legacy...Hymns & Faith. The album featured a Vince Gill-influenced mix of bluegrass and gospel and marked Grant's 25th anniversary in the music industry. Grant followed this up with the pop release Simple Things in 2003. The album did not see the success of her previous pop efforts, and soon after the album, Amy and Interscope/A&M parted ways.

Grant released a sequel to her hymns collection in 2005 titled Rock of Ages... Hymns & Faith. Despite publicly musing that life would be easier if she weren't working, Grant joined the reality television phenomenon by hosting Three Wishes, a show in which she and a team of helpers make wishes come true for small-town residents. The show debuted on NBC in the fall of 2005, but was cancelled in November after 10 episodes. After Three Wishes was cancelled, Grant won her 6th Grammy Award for Rock of Ages.

In a February, 2006 webchat, Amy stated she believes her "best music is still ahead".

Amy Grant recorded a live cd/dvd album in early 2006 and it was released later in the year.

To date Amy Grant has sold more than 25 million records worldwide and is a 6 time Grammy winning artist. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
