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 it anymore
Here he came again, my friend

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 by the number of times
I have sinned
The countless enemies
That should've been friends
Oh, here he comes again, my friend

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
Sweet and true
He keeps sending me angels
Just like you

Some say that it's comin'
Say it's already here
But love is among us
Through the joy and the fear
When I look in your eyes
Everything is so clear
My friend, here it comes again

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
