make me an angel Lyrics

God make me an angel

I wouldn't mind a halo

Give me wings

You can keep the dress

I've never been one

For all the fancy things

But I promise

I'll show up my best

While I'm talking

Do you think you could listen

I know you say you do

But I don't think you've been hearing

I've been told you're an angry God but I hope you're not

So I'm prayin' you won't get mad If I shoot it to you straight

I heard there's streets of gold and on earth my soles are burning on the blacktop

I've been told you get a brand new body and nobody thinks you're ugly

If there's one thing I could ask while I seem to have your attention

Could I sit at your feet while you catch all my tears

God make me an angel so I don't have to be broken down here

I know you decide

Who comes and goes

But if you have any mercy

I've gotta know

Could you stop this hurting

Or meet me with heaven

Cause hell ain't a place it's a feeling

And I've done all I can but it ain't leavin

I heard there's streets of gold and on earth my soles are burning on the blacktop

I've been told you get a brand new body and nobody thinks you're ugly

If there's one thing I could ask while I seem to have your attention

Could I sit at your feet while you catch all my tears

God make me an angel so I don't have to be broken down here
