There was a time 

When in my mind 

All seemed hopeless and lost 

Even life by my account 

Had grown beyond the cost 

But somehow 

I'm not sure now 

An angel heard my prayer 

So along she came 

And on my shoulder she sat 

Because she said god cares 

So here she sits until her task is through 

Guiding me along the way 

All will be fine 

Says this friend of mine 

If I carry the spirit of Jesus today 

So if it seems I'm a little boulder 

Don’t let it throw you astray 

Because with an angel on your shoulder 

Life is easier from day to day
