Great are the words of prophets of old
Who spoke of a King to come as foretold;
A Savior, Redeemer, to rule and to reign;
Taking our sorrow, grief, loss, and pain.
Angels came singing, sent from above
Revealing as promised, our Fathers love;
Teaching the world of His plan for all men
That through Gods own Son, wed come home again.
Chosen of God, a virgin so fair
Was blessed from on high, a Son she would bear,
And call His name Jesus, for He was the One;
His life to offer, "Thy will be done."
Angels came singing, sent from above
Declaring glad tidings, our Fathers love;
Shepherds and wise men would reverently bend
For Jesus was born, the Savior of men.
Women did come, their spices prepared;
Still grieving the loss of life thus not spared.
Then, finding the tomb with the stone rolled away
Void of His body, cried in dismay.
Angles came singing, sent from above
"Why seek ye the living?" Our Fathers Love
Rising, thus breaking the death bands to give
A promise of life to all who would live.
Seeking for truth, he knelt down to pray;
Disturbed by the strife of men in his day.
A pillar of light shone around this young boy;
Christ and His Father answered in joy.
Angels came singing, sent from above;
Proclaiming the good news, our Fathers love;
Full restoration of truth to the Earth;
That all may rejoice, His gift of great worth.
This Christmas (Easter) day, I ponder anew
His birth, life, and death; my covenants true,
And His resurrection that leads to my own;
Prophets still leading, guiding me home.
Angels are singing, sent from our home
Protecting our children, loved ones who roam.
One day we'll join them to sing in His light.
Hes coming again in glory and might.
