When the angels come from heavens above
Sweet as honey, sweet as honey
Pick me to fly on a white-winged dove
Sweet as honey, sweet as honey
I'm blind, but you can make me see
Oh my, have mercy on me
I would trade it all if you asked me too
Silver and gold, silver and gold
Take the green, the red, the white and the blue
Silver and gold, silver and gold
Untrue, we can play for keeps
If you have mercy on me
Lay me down, let me sleep
Hear that sound while I weep
And if I die before I wake
Oh, Lord please, have mercy on me
When it's said and done and written in stone
Hear me holler, hear me holler
You can strike me down and point the bone
Hear me holler, hear me holler
Oh why, you can set me free
Oh my, have mercy on me
Lay me down, let me sleep
Hear that sound while I weep
And if I die before I wake
Oh, Lord please, have mercy on me
Oh, Lord please, have mercy on me
