The ground bowed

The wind grew loud 

And all I heard was the sound 

Of angels singing all aloud

 


They praised his name 

And all proclaim

He is the one with no blame 

And we shall give him all the fame

 


But yet he asked them all for none 

Though all who saw said he's the one

his work on earth had just begun

And that he would save everyone

 


I felt alive to see this sight

To be present on this night

To witness something new and bright

To let my imagination take flight

 


As I close the book 

And glance up to look

I see his face like the light of day, as I stand there shook

I'll never overlook the story I found that day in his book


The author's comments:

This piece is very special to me. It was inspired by the song why by Nichole Nordeman. I loved having the perspective of someone else during the crucifixion and i wanted to do the same thing but during Jesus’ birth.
