For it is written, he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee – Luke 4:10
CHORUS
Angels, watching over me
I got, I got, I got
Angels, watching over me
Watching over me
Angels, watching over me
I got, I got, I got
VERSE 1
Covered in the blood of Jesus, born in the city of Angels
Where Satan be scheming your weakness and, ready to wrangle
Entangle you with demons that’s seething
To mangle and strangle, your believing deceiving and reaving
Leaving you grieving a legion of treason the reason
He competing and cheatin deleting your faith leaving you wraith
Leaving draped completely reshaped undermining your base aye
The message is clear, God is always near
When you’re faced with the desire, God is always here
When you’re walking in the fire stay walking with no fear
Stay praying with no fear he gotcha
Angels and saints when you’re giving him thanks
Can pull you through the deepest waters, safe to the banks
Can rise above the evil maters who don’t bother to blink
Bother to think trying to slaughter my ink
He gave a son, who gave his life, who gave us love, who gave us light
That made us whole and made us right
That made us whole and made us right , Christ
Angles!
CHORUS
VERSE 2
Everywhere we go, Angels watch our backs
We live in tough times, religious freedoms are under the attack
We thunderin back through all the black, through all of the flack
No rolling us back we strong
Our elite purpose when we worship is to keep churchin
Cause the street circus that seep curses will keep hurtin
Causing you drama, mixed with the brahma
Hot as a sauna, let go of the trauma we saved
Speak his name, let his deeds be known
It’s no shame I’ma claim with a preachers tone
With my sneakers on, til the speakers blown
(til the speakers blown)
Together we rise united we fly
No need to silently cry or divided we die
God is the eye, God is the key
The keys, the keys, keys watching over me
CHORUS
SCRIPTURE
Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders. In a loud voice they sang: ‘Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise.” -Revelation 5:11-12
