[THE SINNER]
I Esaw a devil before me, and he took me Aby the Eface
I Ewalked inside his shadow and AM7kept aBsus7pace
I C#mfilled my life with sin enough for the Aworld Bsus7around;
Drowned, E'till by an Angel AM7Seraph I was B7foundBsus7  
The EAngel leads me onward, he C#mwatches as I sleep
The EAngel thinks I've got some kind of Asoul to Ekeep
I Efeel him rest his Seraph head, C#mwarm, against my chest
Don't know Awhy it should be, but by the E/BAngeBsus7l, I am blessed
F#m7/E
And Enow that devil's behind me hoping I'll Atrip and Efall
But the Eseraph remains to remind me I can AM7have a higher cBsus7all.
I C#mjourney toward a goodness that Ahe exeBsus7mplifies
Wise Eand cool and clear and AM7human in disgB7uiseBsus7  
The EAngel leads me onward, he C#mwatches as I sleep
The EAngel thinks I've got some kind of Asoul to Ekeep
I Efeel him rest his Seraph head, C#mwarm, against my chest
Don't know Awhy it should be, but by the E/BAngeBsus7l, I am blessed
F#m7/E
I Edon't believe in God. I think Esus2/AJesus was just a Eman
But Esus2with you in my life, I feel part of some Bheavenly planBsus7  
You've C#mshown me there is faith without Afear or Bsus7regret;
YoAu arEe a love as close to AM7Heaven as I'll B7getBsus7  
So EAngel, lead me onward and Ahold watch as I sleep
I Edon't know why you think I've got a Asoul to Ekeep
And Ewhen you lay your hallow'd head, C#mwarm, against my chest
Light divAine, highest Angel mine, someBsus7how
