The Angels Cried Lyrics

by Alan Jackson

They came from near, they came from fara
Following a distance star to where He laya
Not being sure of what it mean, buta
Knowing it was their waya

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e27321-alan_jackson~the_angels_cried_lyrics.html ]
And the creatures gathered 'rounda
And didn't make a sounda
And the angels crieda

The angels knew what was to comea
The reason God had sent His sona
From up abovea
It filled their hearts with joy to see anda
Knowing of His destinya
Came tears of lovea

I've often thought about that nighta
And wondered if they realizeda
That star so brighta
Was sent to tell all the landa
The Son of God would soon becomea
The Son of Mana

And the creatures gathered 'rounda
And didn't make a sounda
And the angels crieda

And the Angel Crieda
And the Angel Cried
