Jessica Andrews The Angels Cried Lyrics

The Angels Cried Lyrics

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 wandered if they realized

 That stars 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
