Serenaded by Angels (Extended - 2025 take)

[Verse 1]
She went to sleep one night
Never to awake again
But everything was all right
Between her and Him
She awoke in Heaven's courtyard
Free from pain within
The angels gathered around her
And took her by the hand

[Pre-Chorus]
Every tear was wiped away
Every burden laid down
No more nights of crying
No more wearing a crown of thorns

[Chorus]
Serenaded by angels, up to the throne
Serenaded by angels, finally at home
Surrounded by praises, to the King
"Welcome to Paradise," the angels did sing

[Verse 2]
She saw streets like liquid gold
Gates that shined like day
Felt a love so deep and wide
That words could never say
No more questions in her heart
No more fears to hide
Just the glory of His presence
And mercy standing wide

[Chorus]
Serenaded by angels, up to the throne
Serenaded by angels, finally at home
Surrounded by praises, to the King
"Welcome to Paradise," the angels did sing

[Tag]
Welcome home…
Welcome home…

[Verse 3]
Now I close my eyes at night
And try to imagine
That city of brilliant light
Waiting for me
But my mind cannot conceive
So I’ll continue to dream
’Til I’m transported there
Then I will be

[Chorus – softer, intimate]
Serenaded by angels, up to the throne
Serenaded by angels, finally at home
Surrounded by praises, to the King
"Welcome to Paradise," the angels did sing

[Bridge – build]
No more sickness, no more pain
No more loss, no more chains
Every promise He has made
Standing right before my face

No more goodbyes, no more tears
Faith becomes my eyes to see
What we hoped for, what we prayed
Living in eternity

[Beat lift – choir enters]
Ohhh…
Ohhh…

[Chorus – full choir]
Serenaded by angels, up to the throne
Serenaded by angels, finally at home
Surrounded by praises, to the King
"Welcome to Paradise," the angels did sing

[Key Change]
Serenaded by angels, up to the throne
Serenaded by angels, finally at home
Surrounded by praises, to the King
"Welcome to Paradise," the angels did sing
