Lyrics
Verse 1
I used to think the dark was deep,
I used to fear the night would keep
Its shadows — but now I see
There's more here than appears to me.
Chorus
Angels all around, though I can't see their faces,
Standing guard in all my places.
Yahweh's watchers, strong and true —
They're watching over me and you.
Angels all around.
Verse 2
When I walk through fire and flood,
When I'm tempted, when there's blood,
When the battle's in my mind —
Heaven's army's close behind.
(Chorus)
Bridge
Not because I'm good or brave,
Not a prize that I could crave —
Grace alone has stationed them:
Heaven's guard for Yahweh's gem.
(Chorus, big, then acapella last line)
Teaching Note
Pair this with the Grade 2 song "My Angel Watches Over Me" — sing them back to back and discuss what changed. The child's lullaby has become the young adult's battle song. The protection is the same; the singer has grown. This is the curriculum working as designed.
