"Angels" is a 1984 single by Christian singer Amy Grant, from her album Straight Ahead. Grant performed the song at the 1985 Grammy Awards,[1] where it won her an award for Best Gospel Vocal Performance, Female.[2] It also reached No. 1 on Billboard Hot Christian Songs.[3]
The song begins with an account of Peter's capture by Herod's guards in the Bible, and goes on to describe how God has His angels watching over believers, to guide and protect them in times of fear, doubt, confusion, or temptation.
