There's an angel standing by my bed,
I see it every night.
It's always there beside my bed
When I turn off my light.

It says I've had a good long life,
But now it's time to go ,
But I say that I'm not yet ready,
It smiles and says,"I know".

It says I'll give you one more day,
To put the wrong things right.
I make a list, my mind a whirl,
I've got to make this right.

I just can't list my every fault,
The things that I've done wrong,
But somewhere in my history,
That's where they all belong.

So I ask the Lord for mercy,
For the things I should have done,
And I thank Him for his blessing,
Of a daughter and a son.

For other things I'll take the blame,
For I am but a man,
And my errors have been many,
But I've never, ever ran.

I've faced life's pain and sorrow,
I've taken all I can,
And now I'll go to meet Him,
For I am but a man.
