The Angels Cried
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They came from near,they came from far
Following a distance star to where He lay
Not being sure of what it meant
But knowing it was heaven sent
They made their way
And the creatures gathered 'round
And didn't make a sound
And the angels cried
The angels knew what was to come
The reason God had sent His son from up above
It filled their hearts with joy to see
And knowing of His destiny
Came tears of love
And the creatures gathered 'round
And didn't make a sound
And the angels cried
I've often thought about that night
And wondered if they realized
That star so bright
Was sent to tell all the land
The Son of God would soon become
The Son of Man
And the creatures gathered 'round
And didn't make a sound
And the angels cried
And the Angel Cried
And the Angel Cried
And the Angel Cried
