Lyrics
Intro
Can you hear me Are you listening I said can you hear me Are you LIstening
Chorus
O the angel said be not afraid I bring you good news of great joy
O the angel said 2X
Verse 1
Hey you gotta hear what happened. I know you won't believe it
We were out the field that night. A night like any other night
It was so quiet, not a sound. But then the glory fo the Lord shown down
I couldn't move my heart began to pound
And what I swa it brought me to the ground
An angel right in front of me I was so scared I couldn't breathe
Holy light shining all around then I heard the sound
Chorus 2X
Verse 2
And then the angel told us more A savior has been born
In the city of David is a baby in a manger bed
He is Christ the Lord. What we've been waiting for
Our redeemer, king of kings. Then we heard the angels sing
Glory to God in the highest, peace on earth good will to men
Glory to God in the hightest
Chorus 2X
Verse 3
So we took our flock to Bethlehem
This was the sign just like the angel said
We found a baby in a manger hay
This was the place where our Messiah lay
Why did the angel come to me
To tell the things that I have seen
To share their voices every word and this is what we heard
When we heard the angels sing
Glory to God in the highest, peace on earth good will to men
Glory to God in the highest
