The Angels Cried

[Verse 1] They came from near They came from far Following a distant star To where he lay Not being sure of what it meant But knowing it was Heaven sent They made there way And the creatures gathered around And didn't make a sound And the angels cried The angels knew what was to come The reason god has sent his son from up above It filled their hearts with joy to see And knowing of his destiny Came tears of love [Chorus] And the creatures gathered around And didn't make a sound And the angels cried [Verse 2] I've often thought about that night And wondered if they realized that star so bright Was sent to tell all of the land the Son of God Would soon become the Son of Man [Chorus] And the creatures gathered around And didn't make a sound And the Angels cried [x3]
