Gods Message

One night, a sweet young angel was sent by God to Earth,
To bring the people of the world, news of the Christ childs birth,

He travelled north and then went west, from south to east went he,
But not a soul would listen, as he sang out joyously,

"Behold" he cried "the lords own son is born to you this day"!
"he delivers all from evil, and will wash your sins away"

As God looked down, he shook his head, he knew they could not hear,
or recognise one angels voice, through ignorance and fear,

And so he sent a heavenly host, their voices filled the air,
then placed a star over Bethlehem, to guide his people there,

In the dim light of the stable, the angel wept with joy,
he knew god heard the peoples prayers, and sent this special boy,

So even if you are one voice, don't ever be afraid,
that god has never heard you, or watched you as you've prayed.
