When the angels come from heavens above Sweet as honey, sweet as honey Pick me to fly on a white-winged dove Sweet as honey, sweet as honey I'm blind, but you can make me see Oh my, have mercy on me I would trade it all if you asked me too Silver and gold, silver and gold Take the green, the red, the white and the blue Silver and gold, silver and gold Untrue, we can play for keeps If you have mercy on me Lay me down, let me sleep Hear that sound while I weep And if I die before I wake Oh, Lord please, have mercy on me When it's said and done and written in stone Hear me holler, hear me holler You can strike me down and point the bone Hear me holler, hear me holler Oh why, you can set me free Oh my, have mercy on me Lay me down, let me sleep Hear that sound while I weep And if I die before I wake Oh, Lord please, have mercy on me Oh, Lord please, have mercy on me
