Titel: PRECIOUS ANGEL
Interpret: BOB DYLAN
<P> : 1979
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Precious angle, under the sun
how was I to know you'd be the one
to show me I was blinded, to show me I was gone
how weak was the foundation I was standing upon.
Now there's spiritual warfare flesh and blood breaking down
ya either got faith or ya got unbelief
and there ain't no neutral ground
the enemy is subtile, how be it we are so deceived
when the truth's in our hearts and we still don't believe.
Shine your light, shine your light on me.
Shine your light, shine your light on me.
Shine your light, shine your light on me.
Ya know I just couldn't make it by myself
I'm 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 high
when men will beg God to kill them and they won't be able to die.
Sister, lemme tell you about a vision I saw
you were drawning water for your husband,
you were suffering under the law.
You were telling him about Buddah, you were telling
him about Mohammed in the same breath
you never mentioned one time the man
who came and died a criminal's death.
Shine your light, shine your light on me,...
Precious angel, you believe me when I say
what God has given to us no man can take away
we are covered in blood, girl, you know our forefather were slaves
let us hope they've found mercy in their bone-filled graves.
You're the queen of my flesh, girl,
you're my woman, you're my delight
you're the lamp of my soul, girl, and you torch up the night
but there's violence in the eyes, girl, so let us not be enticed
on the way out of Egypt, through Ethiopia,
to the judgement hall of Christ
shine your light, shine your light on me,...
