[Intro]
Dm  Am  C  G  Dm  Am  Ab  G
[Verse]
Mother DmKnelt beside her bed and prayed so Amearnestly
That Cshe would somehow, raise a righteous Gfamily
He Dmheard not a word, as he Amstood at the bedroom door
But the Abtears that rolled down mommy’s face spoke Gmore
He Ebturned and ran that instant, to the Abrose bush in the back
He Bbclipped the one, that last spring, he had Cmhelped his momma plant
Then he sAblowly walked Ebinside, and Bbcarefully knelt Cmbeside
With Bbrose in hand he whispered, “Abmommy, I love Ebyou!”F  
[Chorus]
I’ll Bbgo before your face, I’ll Fbe on your right side
I’ll Gmcomfort you, through my peace, and Ebpromise not to hide
ExAbamples will insEbpire, great Bbleaders will deCmfend
But Gmwhen the road gets too rough, mine Abangels I will Ebsend
To Ebhold you close, to Abcomfort all your Bbneeds
To Ebbe there by your Abside, when you Bbclimb up off your Gmknees
I’ll Abdo all that I Ebcan, to Bbhelp you make it Cmthrough
And Gmwhen life’s journey gets too rough, AbI’ll send angels to Ebyou
[Verse]
DmHusband held his wife, as dAmoctor held their son
CAll the family stood around, the Gtime had finally come
The Dmsurgery would take all night, but Amseem like so much more
They Abwaited in a nearby room, knelt Gdown upon the floor
ToEbgether hand in hand, they Abjoined in humble prayer
BbSeeking comfort from above, like Cmcouples everywhere
But Abthis night was for Ebreal, his Bbpeace she longed to Cmfeel
Then Bbquietly her husband, Abwhispered these few Ebwords…F  
[Chorus]
He will Bbgo before his face, He’ll Fbe on his right hand
And, GmI will always comfort you, I’ll Ebmake sure that you stand
ExAbamples will inEbspire, great Bbleaders will deCmfend
But Gmwhen the road gets too rough, his Abangels he will EbsendF  
[Chorus]
He will Bbgo before his face, He’ll Fbe on his right hand
And, GmI will always comfort you, I’ll Ebmake sure that you stand
ExAbamples will inEbspire, great Bbleaders will deCmfend
But Gmwhen the road gets too rough, his Abangels he will Ebsend
N.C.
He will always comfort me, with every cry and every prayer...
N.C.
He has shown me that he cares, he fills me with his love...
N.C.
And now I know that he loves me
