lyrics

I'm gonna lay myself down in that sweet, rolling river
'til the cool, flowing water has washed me clean,
And, when I rise in the sunlight, I will gaze ever homeward,
for there'll be no need to look back again.

And angels' wings were fluttering over my shoulders,
And they lifted me up above all this darkness and dust,
And my heart was on fire when I heard the song they were singing,
They sang, "Don't you remember you were born to be free, just like us?"

And I dreamed of a meadow filled with beautiful flowers
And silvery white horses, I was watching them run
And all of my loved ones who had gone home before me,
They were there by my side, we were there, everyone, oh yeah.

And angels' wings were fluttering over my shoulders,
And they lifted me up above all this darkness and dust,
And my heart was on fire when I heard the song they were singing,
They sang, "Don't you remember you were born to be free, just like us?"

Now the devil was waiting, standing there at the crossroads,
he smiled like he knew me, and I hung my head down,
Then a white dove descended, shining bright as the morning and,
though Satan was shouting, he could not make a sound, yeah.

I have struggled so long on this strange pilgrim journey,
And the wild wind has cut me as the sands of time blow,
But it all will be worth it when I kneel before Jesus,
And His face has been carved in the stone of my soul, oh yeah.

And angels' wings were fluttering over my shoulders,
And they lifted me up above all this darkness and dust,
And my heart was on fire when I heard the song they were singing,
They sang, "Don't you remember you were born to be free, just like us?"

"Don't you remember you were born to be free, just like us?"
Don't you remember?
Don't you remember?
Remember.

Getting Closer (1985/2020 Remaster)
by Phil Keaggy - Deluxe Studio vocal albums

Another classic Phil Keaggy album where it’s hard to pick just one favorite song. Too many good ones. Sounds, Movie, and Riverton are the backbone however and are must hears. Craig Opal

The Wind And The Wheat (Remastered)
by Phil Keaggy - Studio Instrumentals

supported by 9 fans who also own “Angel's Wings”

I’ve been following Phil since the 70s. I forgot how beautiful this album is. I just rediscovered it by becoming a subscriber. Best decision I’ve ever made. Now I get to listen and revisit many of the concerts I attended and those I couldn’t make for the first time. Also I had many albums on vinyl and cassette that were lost etc. One of the things I love about Phil, is how every time he does a song live, it’s different than his other versions. He keeps things fresh and exciting by doing this. Craig Opal

Find Me In These Fields [remastered & re-imagined]
by Phil Keaggy - Deluxe Studio vocal albums

supported by 9 fans who also own “Angel's Wings”

"Find Me in These Fields" was one of Phil's releases where I sensed he was free to be himself, and that came on strong in every tune. As a guitar player I was inspired, and as a father with a young son "Gentle & Strong" tugged every heart string. Jon Stout
