The angel of love was upon me
And Lord, I felt so small
The legs beneath me weakened
I began to crawl


Confused and contented
I slithered around
Reveal is beyond me
I was lost
 I was found


The angel of love was upon me
And Lord, I felt so weak
I felt my tongue move in my mouth
And I began to speak


A strange kind of language
I don’t understand
A babbling fountain
I couldn’t have planned


Oh leave me here
Forever more
I found the peace
I’ve been searching for


The angel of love was upon me
And Lord, I felt so high
I swear I could have reached up
Placed my hands upon the sky


A radiant rainbow
Was following me around
With elevated senses
I can see and taste sound


The angel of love was upon me
And Lord, I felt so clean
Like a preacher on Sunday
My heart was serene


I waded into the water
I was bathed
I was drowned
Like the sinners before me
I knelt down on the ground


Oh leave me here
Forever more
I found the peace
I’ve been searching for


Oh let me sleep
Forever more
I found the peace
I’ve been searching for
