Sweet Gospel Music Lyrics

My poor heart was heavy,
My poor heart was stone.
Then I heard them - they were angels,
And they were singing: 'you're not alone.'
'There is a peace
You've never known.'

I could hear trumpets,
I could hear them blow.
Then the angels summoned chariots,
The angels told them
'Swing, swing low'
The angels told them
'Swing, swing low.'

Sweet gospel music
Carry this boy, away from danger
Sweet gospel music
Carry this boy, towards the light
Sweet gospel music
Carry this boy, away from danger
Sweet gospel music
Carry him home tonight.

If your heart is heavy,
If your heart is stone,
May you hear them - they are angels.
They may be singing about a throne,
About a peace, in the never-known.

Sweet gospel music
Carry this boy, away from danger
Sweet gospel music
Carry this boy, towards the light
Sweet gospel music
Carry this boy, away from danger
Sweet gospel music
Carry him home tonight.

Sweet gospel music
Carry this boy, away from danger
Sweet gospel music
Carry this boy, towards the light
Sweet gospel music
Carry this boy, away from danger
Sweet gospel music
Carry him home tonight.

Moving The River

My poor heart was heavy,
My poor heart was stone.
Then I heard them - they were angels,
And they were singing: 'you're not alone.'
'There is a peace
You've never known.'

I could hear trumpets,
I could hear them blow.
Then the angels summoned chariots,
The angels told them
'Swing, swing low'
The angels told them
'Swing, swing low.'

Sweet gospel music
Carry this boy, away from danger
Sweet gospel music
Carry this boy, towards the light
Sweet gospel music
Carry this boy, away from danger
Sweet gospel music
Carry him home tonight.

If your heart is heavy,
If your heart is stone,
May you hear them - they are angels.
They may be singing about a throne,
About a peace, in the never-known.

Sweet gospel music
Carry this boy, away from danger
Sweet gospel music
Carry this boy, towards the light
Sweet gospel music
Carry this boy, away from danger
Sweet gospel music
Carry him home tonight.

Sweet gospel music
Carry this boy, away from danger
Sweet gospel music
Carry this boy, towards the light
Sweet gospel music
Carry this boy, away from danger
Sweet gospel music
Carry him home tonight.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
