The Angels Cried (with Alison Krauss)

They came from near, they came from far
 Following a distance star to where He lay
 Not being sure of what it meant
 But knowing it was Heaven sent
 They made 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
 And the creatures gathered 'round
 And didn't make a sound
 And the angels cried
 ♪
 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 angels cried
 And the angels cried
