Sending Me Angels Lyrics - Kathy Mattea

(Jerry Lynn Williams/Frankie Miller) 

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 any more 

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 at the number of 

Times we've all sinned 

And the countless enemies 

That should've been friends 

Oh, here he comes again 

He keeps sending me angels 

Here they come a flyin' 

He keeps sending me angels 

To keep me from cryin' 

He keeps sending me angels 

So I won't be blue 

He keeps sending me angels 

Just like you 

Some say that it's comin' 

I say it's already here 

The love that's among us 

Through the joy and the fear 

When I look into your eyes 

Everything is so clear 

My friend, here he comes again 

He keep 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
