Description
"Angels On High" is an original Christian country song inspired by real events passed down through our family stories. Set against the backdrop of life in the Appalachian mountain region, this song captures the grit of hard-working coal miners, struggles with hardship and addiction, and a powerful encounter with God’s grace. Through heartfelt verses and a soaring chorus, the song follows a father’s journey from his darkest depths to the light of faith, and a mother’s breathtaking vision of angels—moments that forever changed their lives. With roots in the timeless message of salvation, Angels On High is both a tribute to their resilience and a celebration of the hope found in Christ.
Whether you’ve lived these hills or only dreamed of them, the story in this song will take you there—where faith runs deep, prayers echo through the valleys, and heaven sometimes feels just a breath away.
LYRICS
Her daddy worked in the coal mine,
Hard days fought, just to earn a dime.
He battled his demons, drowned in pain,
But God’s mercy found him through the rain.
Tired of stumbling, he knelt and prayed,
Left the bottle, found a brand new way.
He turned his life, gave up the fight,
When faith restored his broken sight.
He stood in the church with a joyful cry,
Telling the story of angels on high.
Oh hallelujah, our Saviour lives!
From heaven’s throne, His love He gives.
One bright morning near the old farm gate,
Her mama saw angels, she couldn’t wait.
With milk in her hands, she ran down the hill,
Heart pounding fast, she couldn’t be still.
She ran to the church with a joyful cry,
Telling the story of angels on high.
Oh hallelujah, our Saviour lives!
From heaven’s throne, His love He gives.
The angels’ song still fills the air,
A testament of answered prayer.
From valleys low to mountains steep,
His promises they vowed to keep.
They praised the Lord with a joyful cry,
Telling the story of angels on high.
Oh hallelujah, our Saviour lives!
From heaven’s throne, His love He gives.
They cried, "Hallelujah! Our Saviour, He lives!"
"Angels On High"
