“take this man to prison, ” the man heard Harold 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 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!

I’ve got my hope set high
That’s why I came tonight
I need to see the truth
I need to see the light

I’ve got my hope set high
That’s why I came tonight
I need to see the truth
I need to see the light
And I can do my best
And pray to the Father
But the one thing I oughta know by now

When it all comes down
When it all comes down
If there’s anything good that happens in life
It’s from Jesus

You know that when it all comes down
When it all comes down
If there’s anything good that happens in life
It’s from Jesus

I’ve got my hope set high
And like a star at night
Out of the deepest dark
It shines the purest light

I’ve got my hope set high
Beyond the wrong and right
I need to see the truth
I need to see the light
‘Cause I can do my best
And pray to the Father
But the one thing I ought to know by now

When it all comes down
When it all comes down
If there’s anything good that happens in life
It’s from Jesus (oh yeah)

I know that when it all comes down
When it all comes down
If there’s anything good that happens in life
It’s from Jesus

I have traveled many moonless nights
Cold and weary with a babe inside
And I wonder what I’ve done
Holy father you have come
And chosen me now to carry your son

I am waiting in a silent prayer
I am frightened by the load I bear
In a world as cold as stone
Must I walk this path alone?
Be with me now
Be with me now

Breath of heaven
Hold me together
Be forever near me
Breath of heaven
Breath of heaven
Lighten my darkness
Pour over me your holiness
For you are holy
Breath of heaven

Do you wonder as you watch my face
If a wiser one should have had my place
But I offer all I am
For the mercy of your plan
Help me be strong
Help me be
Help me

Breath of heaven
Hold me together
Be forever near me
Breath of heaven
Breath of heaven
Lighten my darkness
Pour over me your holiness
For you are holy

It takes a little time sometimes
To get your feet back on the ground
It takes a little time sometimes
To get the Titanic turned back around
It takes a little time sometimes
But baby, you’re not goin’ down
It takes more than you got right now
Give it, give it time

What’s this walkin’ through my door?
I know I’ve seen the look before
Sometimes in faces on the street
Sometimes in the mirror looking back at me
You can’t fix this pain with money
You can’t rush a weary soul
You can’t sweep it under the rug, now honey
It don’t take a lot to know

It takes a little time sometimes
To get your feet back on the ground
It takes a little time sometimes
To get the Titanic turned back around
It takes a little time sometimes
But baby, you’re not goin’ down
It takes more than you got right now
Give it, give it time

Yeah, give it time

Well, it may not be over by morning
Rome wasn’t built in a day
You can name that thing a thousand times
And it won’t make it go away
Let me put my arms around you
And hold you while you weep
We’ve been talkin’
And you know what, I’m sick of this talk
And it’s nothin’ that won’t keep

It takes a little time sometimes
To get your feet back on the ground
It takes a little time sometimes
To turn the Titanic around
It takes a little time sometimes
But baby, you’re not going down
It takes more than you got right now
Give it, give it time

It takes a little more time, more time
(Turn the Titanic around) turn it around, around, around
(Baby, you’re not goin’ down) takes a little time sometimes

You can’t fix this pain with money
You can’t rush a weary soul
You can’t sweep it under the rug now, honey
It don’t take a lot to know (know)

It takes a little time sometimes
To get your feet back on the ground
It takes a little time sometimes
To turn the Titanic around
It takes a little time sometimes
But baby, you’re not goin’ down
You got things to think of now
So give it, give it time
