Fallen Angel

FALLEN ANGEL Scripture abounds with the age old story Angels from the realms of glory Wing your flight o'er all the earth Telling of the Messiah's birth The story they told, we can't deny Angels we have heard on high Sweetly singing o'er the plains As we repeat its great refrain Angels descending, bring from above Echoes of mercy, whispers of love Hark, the herald angels sing Glory to the new born King These songs of angels, familiar to all Yet, these angels clearly were ne'er to fall The one who fell on earth to trod Had delusions of grandeur to be like God His beauty was striking, his attitude vain He made his desires undeniably plain He lurks in the darkness patiently waiting Beware this fallen angel called satan 28 August 2018 For the contest sponsored by John Lawless
