I saw a devil before me, and he took me by the face
E Am7 Bsus7
I walked inside his shadow and kept apace
C#m A Bsus7
I filled my life with sin enough for the world around;
E Am7 B7 Bsus7
Drowned, 'till by an Angel Seraph I was found
E C#m
The Angel leads me onward, he watches as I sleep
E A E
The Angel thinks I've got some kind of soul to keep
E C#m
I feel him rest his Seraph head, warm, against my chest
A E/B Bsus7
Don't know why it should be, but by the Angel, I am blessed
F#m7/E
E A E
And now that devil's behind me hoping I'll trip and fall
E Am7 Bsus7
But the seraph remains to remind me I can have a higher call.
C#m A Bsus7
I journey toward a goodness that he exemplifies
E Am7 B7 Bsus7
Wise and cool and clear and human in disguise

The Angel leads me onward, he watches as I sleep

The Angel thinks I've got some kind of soul to keep

I don't believe in God. I think Jesus was just a man
Esus2 B Bsus7
But with you in my life, I feel part of some heavenly plan
C#m A Bsus7
You've shown me there is faith without fear or regret;
A E Am7 B7 Bsus7
You are a love as close to Heaven as I'll get
E A
So Angel, lead me onward and hold watch as I sleep
E A E
I don't know why you think I've got a soul to keep
E C#m
And when you lay your hallow'd head, warm, against my chest
A Bsus7
Light divine, highest Angel mine, somehow
E Esus2 F#m7
I'll be blessed
E Esus2 F#m7
I'll be blessed

I'll be blessed
