The Angels Cried - Alan Jackson

They 
D
came from near, they 
A
came from far,

Bm
Following a 
A
distant star to 
G
where He lay.

Not 
D
being sure of 
A
what it meant

But 
Bm
knowing it was 
A
Heaven sent, they 
G
made their way.

	And the 
Em
creatures gathered 'round

	And 
G
didn't make a sound,

	And the 
D
An
C
gels 
G
cried.

D
The Angels knew what 
A
was to come,

The 
Bm
reason God had 
A
sent His Son from 
G
up above.

It 
D
filled their hearts with 
A
joy to see, and

Bm
Knowing of His 
A
destiny, came 
G
tears of love.

REPEAT CHORUS

I've 
D
often thought a
D
bout that night,

And 
Bm
wondered if they 
A
realized that 
G
star so bright.

Was 
D
sent to tell 
A
all the land,

The 
Bm
Son of God would 
A
soon become the 
G
Son of man.

REPEAT CHORUS

	And the 
D
An
C
gels 
G
cried.
