I saw a devil before me, and he took me by the face.
I walked inside his shadow and kept apace.
I've filled my life with sin enough for the world around,
Drowned, 'til by an angel seraph, I was found.
The angel leads me onward, he watches as I sleep.
The angel thinks I've got some kind of soul to keep.
I feel him rest his seraph head warm against my chest.
Don't know why it should be, but by the angel, I am blessed.
And now that devils behind me hoping I'll trip and fall.
But the seraph remains to remind me I can have a higher call.
I journey toward a goodness that he exemplifies,
Wise and clear and cool and human in disguse.
The angel leads me onward, he watches as I sleep.
The angel thinks I got some kind of soul to keep.
I feel him rest his seraph head warm against my chest.
Don't know why it should be but by the angel I am blessed.
I don't believe in God, I think Jesus was just a man.
But with you in my life, I feel part of some heavenly plan.
You've shown me there is faith without fear or regret.
You are a love as close to heaven as I'll get.
So, angel, lead me onward and hold watch as I sleep.
I don't know why you think I've got a soul to keep.
And when you lay your hallowed head warm against my chest,
My divine, highest agnel, mine...
Somehow, I'll be blessed.
I'll be blessed, I'll be blessed.
You make me happy all the time.
