There's an army waching over me
and when trouble comes around
I go to Jesus I ask him please:
-Send the angels down
Send the angels down, Lord, Lord
Send the angels down.
Let them carry me on heavens wings,
send the angels down.
Someday I reach my home on high
and trade this shawl for a crown
And when my soul is really take its white
Send the angels down
(Chorus)
Are you ready for the judgement day
When that final trumpet sound?
Will he answer may call your name?
(Chorus)
and when trouble comes around
I go to Jesus I ask him please:
-Send the angels down
Send the angels down, Lord, Lord
Send the angels down.
Let them carry me on heavens wings,
send the angels down.
Someday I reach my home on high
and trade this shawl for a crown
And when my soul is really take its white
Send the angels down
(Chorus)
Are you ready for the judgement day
When that final trumpet sound?
Will he answer may call your name?
(Chorus)
