The Angels Were Singing
by Southern Brothers

Album: When the Clouds Roll Back

He chose to leave the splendor
Of Heaven behind
To come to this earth as a man
The world had been waiting
So long for a sign
And in a manger, He come
To save the world from sin's hand

And the angels were singing
For a Savior was born
The curse had been broken
That held us so long
Glory in the highest
For redemption had come
And the angels were singing their song
Their song

He walked among the people
The rich and the poor
Healing in His Father's name
Accepted by many
Rejected by more
Until He stood before Pilate
In a courtroom of shame

Convicted and then sentenced
To be crucified
At Calvary His own life He gave
The angels stood crying
As their dear Savior died
But after three long dark days
He came out of the grave

And the angels were singing
For the Savior arose
The curse had been broken
That held us so long
Glory in the highest
For redemption had come
And the angels were singing their song

One day I heard the story
Of how Christ died for me
So that I could be freed from my past
He was waiting for me
And He held the key
And when I walked down the aisle
I was free, free at last

And the angels were singing
For a sinner came home
The curse had been broken
That held me so long
Glory in the highest
For redemption had come
And the angels were singing their song

Glory in the highest
For redemption had come
And the angels were singing their song
