"God Gave Me An Angel" lyrics

God Gave Me An Angel

I was never born with the face
Of a movie star
I was never blessed with an easy load
Along the way
I've taken the wrong turning
So many times I can't remember
But one thing I have for sure
I can always smile and say

God gave me an angel
With a smiling face
God gave me an angel
This I know
My churches are all empty
And I'm guilty every day
But God gave me an angel
He gave me an angel anyway
God gave me an angel

Talk of being good
And what became of me
Do I hide my head in shame
And turn away?
Cause I've taken the wrong turning
So many times I can't remember
But God gave me an angel anyway

God gave me an angel
With a smiling face
God gave me an angel
This I know
My churches are all empty
And I'm guilty every day
But God gave me an angel
Gave me an angel

God gave me an angel
With a smiling face
God gave me an angel
This I know
Oh, my churches are all empty
And I'm guilty every day
But God gave me an angel
Anyway
God gave me an angel
Yeah, yeah
