[Verse 1]

Take this man to prison

C/G D/G G

The man heard Herod say

And then four squads of soldiers came

C/G D/G G

And carried him a---way

Chained up between two watchmen

C/G D/G G

Peter tried to sleep

But beyond the walls

C/G D/G G

An endless prayer was lifting for his keep

[Pre-Chorus 1]

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

D/F#

And running to his people

C/E

Before the break of day

There was only one thing on his mind

C/G D/G G

Only one thing to say

[Chorus]

C Em D/F# G

Angels watching over me

[Verse 2]

God only knows the times

C/G D/G G

My life was threatened just today

A reckless car ran out of gas

C/G D/G G

Before it ran my way

Near misses all around me

C/G D/G G

Accidents un--known

Though I never see with human eyes

C/G D/G G

The hands that lead me home

[Pre-Chorus 2]

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

D/F#

To keep my feet from falling

C/E

I'll never turn away

If you're asking what's protecting me

C/G D/G G

Then you're gonna hear me say
