Expelled
we must have been angels
before the devil taught us to lie
we must have been angels
before anyone knew how to cry
we must have been angels
unbelieving in the grace of God
thrown out of heaven
made into something odd
such powerless creatures
we human beings
forgetting what we were
in the very begining
where do babies come from
if not from God
they have mothers and fathers
but when did they start
what made the cells
that made us, us
and why are we men
instead of dust
why do we think and learn
more than others
the mysteries of life
that men have discovered
were some angels sent from heaven
and others sent to save
all the company of heaven
wittness to God's grace
proving God's claim to be great
God's Holiness created
by his grace
His perfection at His pace
we must have been angels
before the beggining of time
we must have been angels
before the devil lied
