Lyrics
Lord, Let the Angels Sing
Music & Lyrics by Johnny Rodgers (Ac 2001)
One more year, I hardly can believe we made it through,
Feels so far away.
Bright and clear above the midnight sky I see a star
Greet the brand new day.
I hear the church bells chime to tell the world its Christmas time.
Hang the lights upon the tree.
It came back right on cue to bring us all a better view
Of what the world can be
Hold close to the ones you love, there's a time for coming home.
When the eagle is with the dove and they sail above the ocean foam,
Then let the season ring, bring glory to the newborn King.
Lord, let the angels sing!
One more night, to light the fire with family
And friends on Christmas Eve
So hold on tight and make the moment last before it ends
Seems hard to believe.
I know the storm still rages on above the wars we wage,
And though it rolls across the sky,
I hear an angel choir with voices like a healing fire.
A song to make our spirits fly!
Hold close to the ones you love, there's a time for coming home.
When the eagle is with the dove and they sail above the ocean foam,
Then let the season ring, bring glory to the newborn King.
Lord, let the angels sing!
A song of peace!
Alive like spring!
A song of Joy!
On golden wing
Hold close to the ones you love, there's a time for coming home.
When the eagle is with the dove and they sail above the ocean foam,
Then let the season ring, bring glory to the newborn King.
Lord, let the angels sing!
Hold close to the ones you love, there's a time for coming home.
When the eagle is with the dove and they sail above the ocean foam,
Then let the season ring, bring glory to the newborn King.
Lord, let the angels sing!
Lord, let the angels sing!
