ALAN JACKSON - THE ANGELS CRIED lyrics

rate me

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 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 realize 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 angels cried

And the angels cried
