Precious Angel

Precious angel, under the sun
 How was I to know you'd be the one
 To show me I was blinded, to show me I was gone
 How weak was the foundation I was standing upon?
 Now there's spiritual warfare, flesh and blood breaking down
 You either got faith or you got unbelief and there ain't no neutral ground
 The enemy is subtle, how be it we are deceived
 When the truth's in our hearts and we still don't believe?
 Shine your light, shine your light on me
 Shine your light, shine your light on me
 Shine your light, shine your light on me
 You know I just can't make it by myself
 I'm a little too blind to see
 ♪
 My so-called friends have fallen under a spell
 They look me squarely in the eye and they say, "Well, all is well"
 Can they imagine the darkness that will fall from on high
 When men will beg God to kill them and they won't be able to die?
 Sister, let me tell you about a vision that I saw
 You were drawing water for your husband, you were suffering under the law
 You were telling him about Buddha, you were telling him about Mohammed in one breath
 You never mentioned one time the Man who came and died a criminal's death
 Shine your light, shine your light on me
 Shine your light, shine your light on me
 Shine your light, shine your light on me
 You know I just couldn't make it by myself
 I'm a little too blind to see

 Precious angel, you believe me when I say
 What God has given to us no man can take away
 We are covered in blood, girl, you know our forefathers were slaves
 Let us hope they've found mercy in their bone-filled graves
 You're the queen of my flesh, girl, you're my woman, you're my delight
 You're the lamp of my soul, girl, and you torch up the night
 But there's violence in the eyes, girl, so let us not be enticed
 On the way out of Egypt, through Ethiopia, to the judgment hall of Christ
 Shine your light, shine your light on me
 Shine your light, shine your light on me
 Shine your light, shine your light on me
 You know I just couldn't make it by myself
 I'm a little too blind to see
