Bob Dylan - Precious Angel Lyrics
Precious angel, under the sun,How was I to know youd be the oneTo show me I was blinded, to show me I was goneHow weak was the foundation I was standing upon?Now theres spiritual warfare and flesh and blood breaking down.Ya either got faith or ya got unbelief and there aint no neutral ground.The enemy is subtle, how be it we are so deceivedWhen the truths in our hearts and we still dont believe?Shine your light, shine your light on meShine your light, shine your light on meShine your light, shine your light on meYa know I just couldnt make it by myself.Im 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, all is well.Can they imagine the darkness that will fall from on highWhen men will beg God to kill them and they wont be able to die?Sister, lemme tell you about a vision 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 mohammedIn the same breath.You never mentioned one time the man who came and died a criminals death.Shine your light, shine your light on meShine your light, shine your light on meShine your light, shine your light on meYa know I just couldnt make it by myself.Im a little too blind to see.Precious angel, you believe me when I sayWhat 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 theyve found mercy in their bone-filled graves.Youre the queen of my flesh, girl, youre my woman, youre my delight,Youre the lamp of my soul, girl, and you touch up the night.But theres violence in the eyes, girl, so let us not be enticedOn the way out of egypt, through ethiopia, to the judgment hall of christ.Shine your light, shine your light on meShine your light, shine your light on meShine your light, shine your light on meYa know I just couldnt make it by myself.Im a little too blind to see.
