Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In my room, in my room
In this world I lock out all my worries and my fears
In my room, in my room
Do my dreaming and my scheming
Lie awake and pray
Do my crying and my sighing
Now it's dark and I'm alone
But I won't be afraid
In my room, in my room
In my room, in my room
In my room, in my room
The lyrics to Bill & Gloria Gaither And Their Homecoming Friends' song Angels in the Room touches upon the idea of having a private sanctuary where one can go to let their guard down and express themselves without any inhibition. The artist describes their own personal haven as a place where they can share their secrets and shut out the anxieties and fears of the world. They highlight how in this space, they can daydream, plan, pray, cry, and even laugh without any judgment or scrutiny.
The phrase "in my room" appears repeatedly throughout the song, conveying the idea of having a physical or mental place where one can seek refuge and solace. The quiet and stillness of the room becomes a symbol of safety and comfort, where one can be alone with their thoughts and emotions. The repetition of the line "In my room, in my room" at the end emphasizes this idea, suggesting that this space is one of the most important and valuable aspects of the artist's life.
Overall, the lyrics of Angels in the Room convey a powerful message about the importance of having a private sanctuary where one can be themselves without any restrictions, and where they can navigate their innermost feelings without any judgment or pressure.

This is all possible because of my room, my special and private place
In my room, in my room

In my room, in my room
To emphasize once again: this personal space is essential to my peace of mind

Even as I constantly struggle to pay my rent. And I constantly struggle to provide groceries for my children! I trust you Lord! I’m choosing to keep faith. Walking with faith is the most important thing us christian’s must do. That’s why love compassion and prayers are all we truly need. Please keep me in your prayers. As Christians it’s vital to trust God no matter what we are facing. I want to give up so bad! But God won’t allow me because he is our only strength in this world. As a single mom, things are tough on me. My husband passed years ago. I feel so alone. Both of my sons are autistic and non verbal. I’m constantly struggling to provide for my boys. I’m overwhelmed and so ashamed. Father God hear my prayers. My faith in you is strong! Even though I’m constantly in fear of losing my home. I have faith a miracle is on the way! Faith over fear!
