Angel of the Lord Lyrics by Fred Eaglesmith

Lipstick Lies & Gasoline

1997

I took a walk on the highway of life
But I got off to look at the sights
And where once there stood the city of good
There was only struggle and strife
There was treachery everywhere
And darkness hung in the air
And the worst of the thiefs
They sang and preached
And then they all bowed their heads and they prayed
And the angel of the Lord
Held a bright burning sword
Better here before it's too late
And if Jesus is coming He better come quickly
While there's still those that worry and wait
And the sights and the sounds of sin
And the broken hearts of men
And the whispering and the ubiquity
Was more than a body can stand
And the angel of the Lord
Held a bright burning sword
Better here before it's too late
And if Jesus is coming He better come quickly
While there's still those that worry and wait
While there's still those that worry and wait
