Elle Limebear - Angels Lyrics
Lyrics
Wherever you go, you’re never alone
You’re under the wings in a shadow
Whatever you face that’s making you break
Remember the promise that you hold
Hold on, hold on
Help is closer than you know
And you’ve got…
Angels always around you
On guard day and night
No harm will overtake you
You have angels, you have angels
Angels always around you
On guard day and night
No harm will overtake you
You have angels, you have angels
What would you change?
What would you do if He wasn’t standing in front of you?
How would you live?
What would you give to know there’s a Hero beside you?
Hold on, hold on
Help is closer than you know
And you’ve got…
Angels always around you
On guard day and night
No harm will overtake you
You have angels, you have angels
Angels always around you
On guard day and night
No harm will overtake you
You have angels, you have angels
You don’t have to fight
Heaven’s on your side
Help is closer than you know
And you’ve got…
Angels always around you
On guard day and night
No harm will overtake you
You have angels, you have angels
Angels always around you
On guard day and night
No harm will overtake you
You have angels, you have angels

Meaning & Inspiration
Elle Limebear’s "Angels," released on October 16, 2020, emerges as a profound reassurance of divine presence and unwavering protection in a world often marked by uncertainty and challenge. The song’s essence lies in reminding every individual that they are never truly alone, but are enveloped in the watchful care of heavenly beings commissioned by God. This message serves as an anchor for the soul, particularly for those grappling with life’s demands, offering a solace deeply rooted in scriptural promises. It speaks to the universal human experience of feeling overwhelmed and provides a spiritual framework for finding strength and comfort.
The lyrical journey begins by painting a vivid picture of constant companionship, declaring, "Wherever you go, you’re never alone / You’re under the wings in a shadow." This imagery immediately evokes the powerful protection described in Psalm 91:4, where the Almighty covers His people with His feathers, offering refuge beneath His wings. It’s a tender yet mighty promise that no matter the physical location or emotional state, a divine shield is ever-present. When the song acknowledges "Whatever you face that’s making you break," it validates the struggles we encounter, then swiftly pivots to an empowering call to "Remember the promise that you hold." This promise is not a vague hope but the steadfast covenant of God’s faithfulness, a truth echoed throughout scripture, reminding us that His word is reliable and His intentions are good (Jeremiah 29:11). The subsequent encouragement to "Hold on, hold on / Help is closer than you know" serves as a beacon of hope, preventing despair by affirming that intervention is not just possible, but imminent.
The recurring chorus is the song's heartbeat, firmly establishing the core message: "Angels always around you / On guard day and night / No harm will overtake you / You have angels, you have angels." This powerful declaration finds robust support in verses like Psalm 34:7, which states, "The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them." Further, Psalm 91:11-12 explicitly assures us, "For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone." The song articulates not just a passive presence, but an active, vigilant guardianship, functioning tirelessly "day and night." The affirmation "No harm will overtake you" aligns with the ultimate spiritual security found in Christ, reminding us that even amidst trials, true and lasting harm (separation from God) cannot befall those who are His (Romans 8:38-39).
The second verse takes a reflective turn, posing introspective questions: "What would you change? What would you do if He wasn’t standing in front of you? / How would you live? What would you give to know there’s a Hero beside you?" These lines compel a deeper consideration of the profound impact of God's tangible presence in our lives. They challenge the listener to imagine life without divine backing, highlighting the courage, peace, and purposeful living that stem from knowing Christ, our ultimate Hero, walks beside us. His presence transforms fear into faith, weakness into strength, and uncertainty into hope. This section is a testament to the transformative power of God’s companionship, inspiring gratitude and a renewed sense of purpose.
The bridge reinforces the central theme of divine intervention and rest, proclaiming, "You don’t have to fight / Heaven’s on your side / Help is closer than you know." This message echoes biblical assurances like Exodus 14:14, where Moses tells the Israelites, "The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still." It underscores the truth that believers are not left to face battles alone; the very forces of heaven are marshaled on their behalf. This provides immense relief and empowers individuals to release their burdens and trust in a power far greater than their own. Elle Limebear's "Angels" is an anthem of spiritual fortitude, a lyrical reminder that God’s protective embrace, manifested through His angelic hosts, is a constant, tangible reality for every believer, offering comfort, strength, and an unwavering assurance of His care.
