Lyrics

Was God smil (F)ing when He spoke the (C)words that (Csus)made the world?

And did He cry a (F)bout the flood?

What does God’s voice (F)sound like when He (C)sings (Csus)or when (C)He’s an gry?

(Dm7)These are just a few things

that the (Bbsus2)an gels have on me.

Well, (C)I can’t fly, at least not yet.

I’ve (Am)got no ha lo (Bb)on my (F)head, and (Am)I can’t e ven start to pic ture Heav en’s beau ty.

But (C)I’ve been shown the Sav ior’s love.

The (Am)grace of God has (Bb)raised me (F)up to (Am)show me things the (C)an gels long to (D)look in to.

And (Dm7)I know things

(F)an gels on ly (Gm7)wish they knew.

I have seen the (F)dark and (Csus)des p’rate (C)place where (Csus)sin will take you.

I’ve felt lone li (F)ness and (Csus)shame.

And I have watched (F)the blind ing light of (C)grace (Csus)come break (C)ing through with a sweet ness on ly tast ed by the for (Bb)giv en and re deemed.

Still, (Bbsus2)wish they knew.

And some day I’ll sit down with my an (F)gel friends up in Heav en.

They’ll (Am)tell me a bout cre a tion,

and I’ll tell them a sto ry of grace.

Well, (C)I can’t fly, at least not yet.

I’ve (Am)got no ha lo (Bb)on my (F)head, and (Am)I can’t e ven start to pic ture Heav en’s beau ty.

But (C)I’ve been shown the Sav ior’s love.

The (Am)grace of God has (Bb)raised me (F)up to (Am)show me things the an gels long to (D)look in to.

And (Dm7)I know things the (F)an gels on ly (Gm7)wish they knew.
