Sending Me Angels - Delbert McClinton

I walked down to the river

Stood on the shore

Seems like the devil’s always

Tryin' to get in my door

Just when I thought

I couldn’t take it anymore

Here he came again, my friend

He keeps sending me angels

From up on high

He keeps sending me angels

To teach me to fly

He keeps sending me angels

Sweet and true

He keeps sending me angels

Just like you

As I stand on this mountain

Face to the wind

Amazed by the number of times

I have sinned

The countless enemies

That should’ve been friends

Oh here he comes again, my friend

Here they come a flyin'

He keeps sending me angels

To keep me from cryin'

(He keeps) Sending me angels

Sweet and true

He keeps sending me angels

Just like you

Some say that it’s comin'

Say it’s already here

But love is among us Through the joy and the fear

When I look in your eyes

Everything is so clear

My friend, here it comes again

He keeps sending me angels

From up on high

He keeps sending me angels

To teach me to fly

He keeps sending me angels

Sweet and true

(He keeps) Sending me angels

Just like you
