Lyrics Delbert McClinton

Delbert McClinton

Sending Me Angels

Standing on the bank of a river

By 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

And the countless number of enemies

That should have been friends

Here he comes again

My friend

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

Sweet and true

He keeps sending me angels

Just like you

Some say that it's comin'

I say that 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, oh, here he 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
