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 son



And 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 towards the earth

For the source of this sound

On that cold winter night

It was pulling him down



To 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 appeared



And 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 towards the earth

For the source of this sound

On that cold winter night

It was pulling him down
