Sending Me Angels

Kathy Mattea

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
