Angel Of The Lord - Fred Eaglesmith

I took a walk on the highway of life

But I got off to look at the sights

And where once there stood the city of good

There was only struggle and strife

There was treachery everywhere

And darkness hung in the air

And the worst of fears

They sang and preached

And then they all bowed their heads and they prayed

And the angel of the Lord

Held a bright burning sword

Better here before it’s too late

And if Jesus is coming He better come quickly

While there’s still those that worry and wait

And the sights and the sounds of sin

And the broken hearts of men

And the whispering and the ubiquity

Was more than a body can stand

And the angel of the Lord

Held a bright burning sword

Better here before it’s too late

And if Jesus is coming He better come quickly

While there’s still those that worry and wait

While there’s still those that worry and wait
