In the arms of the angels you will be safe and warm In the arms of the angels there is shelter from the storm In the arms of the angels you will fly far away from here In the arms of the angels there will be nothing to fear In the arms of the angels you will dance across the stars And find a place of healing and rest and no more nasty scars
Help me Lord to see your face When I am in the desert place
I am safe and warm I find shelter from the storm
I know I'm alive and free Because you are with me
So in life or death I know There is a place I can go:
Down on my knees There is a longing, a strength and peace
Your love is the anchor to which I hold When the sea of life is stormy and the wind blows rough and cold
You are my fortress, and my rock, my refuge, my strong tower You are with me always, now and in my final hour
You are a lighthouse beacon to light my way and guide me home It reaches me wherever I hide, wherever I roam
