Jackson Alan - The Angels Cried (Alan Jackson with Alison Krauss) lyrics

They came from near,they came from far 

Following a distance star to where He lay 

Not being sure of what it mean,but 

Knowing it was their way 

And the creatures gathered 'round 

And didn't make a sound 

And the angels cried 

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 

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 

And the creatures gathered 'round 

And didn't make a sound 

And the angels cried 

And the Angel Cried 

And the Angel Cried
