Angels

Susan Ashton


The touch of His hand will let me know 
He takes me in and lets me go 
If not for love, who would believe 
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, in you and me. 

We're lifted up by angels 
Higher than the world 
Strong enough to leave it. 

Bound to learn the secrets 
Angels never heard 
Close enough to heaven 
Far above the rain 
Darkness cannot reach us. 

Let the angels teach us 
Only love remains. 

We're lifted up by angels 
To understand, yet never say 
How every plan would fade away 
If not for love, where would we be 
Ashes to dust, water to rust, eternally. 

We're lifted up by angels 
Higher than the world 
Strong enough to leave it. 

Bound to learn the secrets 
Angels never heard 
Close enough to heaven 
Far above the rain 
Darkness cannot reach us. 

Let the angels teach us 
Only love remains. 

We're lifted up by angels 
Given wings to fly 
Leave the night behind us 
Trust the light to find us 
Even as we rise. 

We're lifted up by angels 
Higher than the world 
Strong enough to leave it. 

Bound to learn the secrets 
Angels never heard 
Close enough to heaven 
Far above the rain 
Darkness cannot reach us. 

Let the angels teach us 
Only love remains. 

We're lifted up by angels...
