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 devil's 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 cool and clear and human in disguise.
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.
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, light divine, highest angel,
mine... Somehow, I'll be blessed.
