Angel's Song by John Fischer

With thanks to Alan Wilkerson at Theological Edge and his comment on my last posting, here is the song I said I loved in the seventies. You can find it at John Fischer's web site. I wish you could hear the music that goes with it.

Angel's Song
(Words and Music by John Fischer)

In the town of Bethlehem
A king and ruler child was born
Not too many people noticed

Just some shepherds on their farm
Plus a few hundred thousand angels
Breaking the heavens with their song
And the rocks and the mountains joined them
For their time had come

God had promised a Redeemer
Through the prophet's willing tongue
Time had reached its culmination
To reveal His only Son
Born of a virgin child of the earth
With her seed conceived of God
Fully human but in His veins flowed
Precious godly blood

And that precious blood was soon
To be poured out in cruel death
For the healing of the nations
And all those who feel His breath
Lift up your voice and sing to the heavens
With the angels sing your song
Jesus has come to wipe out the darkness
Take us to His home

Even though today our nation
Celebrates this holy birth
Yet so few men truly know Him
If you do then sing this verse
Lift up your voice and sing to the heavens
With the angels sing your song.
Jesus has come to wipe out the darkness
Take us to His home.
