THE ANGELS CRIED

NOTES: capo fret 3

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,


Chorus:
        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.
