I don't know if there’s a God up in heaven

But I met an angel today

Though her wings might be hidden

'Cause I don't see no feathers

She’s made of light and of grace

And so she took my hand

And she lead me down

As we sat by the water's edge

And I said, "Matthew's daughter
B C#m A C#m
Heaven knows I'm a sinner and I've made mistakes
C#m B A E
So bathe me in water
B C#m A E
Come and dive in the river, you can start again"

No, I don't see no halo but I know that it's there
B C#m A E
Resting one inch over her auburn hair

And I told her my secrets, the darkest I have
B C#m A
And I swear that she sees me for all that I am

To where the sun rises in the west"
