Christmas Concerto

[narration]

After the song was over

Nearly every person there

Went to the cathedral's basement

And started setting up tables and chairs

For that night this church would feed

Any person in life who had less

And both those that gave and those that received

Left that night feeling blessed

Then the angel remembered something

That his lord's son had once said

On how one truly followed him

When words and acts were wed

Some people claim to follow him

But themselves they just deceive

For his lord's son had said,

"you will know who truly follows me

Not by what they say, but by their deeds"

And this church was clearly filled

With kind people of goodwill

But the angel had more time left on this night

And continued to search on still

So the angel left the parishioners

With their christmas meal in happy bliss

And returned once more to the hotel

To make sure that there was no one there he had missed

And passing by a village square

He heard a brass quartet

Whose christmas concerto in the key of g

He felt lighten his every step
