Angel's Wings
by Randy Stonehill

Album: Thirst

I'm gonna lay myself down in that sweet rolling river
'Til the cool flowing water has washed me clean
And when I rise in the sunlight
I will gaze ever homeward
For there'll be no need to look back again

Chorus:

And angels' wings were fluttering over my shoulders
And they lifted me up above all this darkness and dust
And my heart was on fire when I heard the song they were singing
They sang don't you remember you were born to be free just like us

And I dreamed of a meadow filled with beautiful flowers
And silvery white horses I was watching them run
And all of my loved ones who had gone home before me
They were there by my side
We were there, everyone

repeat chorus

Now the devil was waiting standing there at the crossroads
And he smiled like he knew me and I hung my head down
Then a white dove descended, shining bright as the morning
And though Satan was shouting, he could not make a sound

I have struggled so long on this strange pilgrim journey
And the wild wind has cut me as the sands of time blow
But it all will be worth it when I kneel before Jesus
And His face has been carved in the stone of my soul

repeat chorus

Don't you remember you born to be free just like us
Don't you remember
Don't you remember
Remember
