Angels Cried

[Intro ]= D  C  G  A  D  C  G  A 
 
Verse 1: 
     D                    A           
They came from near, they came from far, 
Bm          A               G              
Following a distant star to where He lay,  
    D             A 
Not being sure of what it meant, but  
Bm             A 
Knowing it was heaven sent, 
     G  
They made their way, 
 

        Em 
And the creatures gathered 'round  
    G 
And didn't make a sound, 
        D  C   G  
And the angels cried. 
 
Verse 2: 
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. 
 
  
  
Verse 3: 
I've often thought about that night  
And wondered if they realized  
That star so bright  
Was sent to tell all the land  
The Son of God would soon become  
The Son of Man.
