An Angel Came Down

An angel came down one night to the earth
A mission from God, to find out the worth
Of everything that His children had done
Since that winter night the birth of His sonAnd then a sound filled the night in the cold winter air
And in the midst of His flight, it was holding Him there
And as He looked toward the earth for the source of this sound
On that cold winter night, it was pulling Him downTo bring something back, this angel was told
That no one could touch but angels could hold
So on that night when the sky had cleared
Among all the stars an angel appearedAnd then a sound filled the night in the cold winter air
And in the midst of His flight, it was holding Him there
And as He looked toward the earth for the source of this sound
On that cold winter night, it was pulling Him down
