Angel come to save my soul,
Bring me to the world you know,
Take my burdens and cast away,
All the hurt I felt this day.

Tell the ones who met my eye,
That their tears I now must cry,
Love them with what I should be,
Ask them please to forgive me.

Cleanse my heart so hard like stone,
Move the mountains I did alone,
Hold them spirit up high to claim,
That all their hurt I am to blame.

Started life contented and free,
Learned to close my eyes to see,
Thought a living was mine to make,
Walked the path I chose to take.

Somewhere where I clamored on,
Forgot the darkness soon found a dawn,
Used the ones who did love me the best,
Failed the ultimate human test.

Angel hold me to your breast,
Treat me kindly like all the best,
Show me where the kingdom lies,
Stop my soul from how I cry.

Let me say with words forlorn,
No more let me be so scorned,
Fill my mind with heavenly love,
Take me to the gracious dove.
