When The Angels Cried

Stillness filled the Heavens
On crucifixion day,
Some say it rained,
But I don't know if it's true.
Well, I can just imagine
Ten thousand angels cried,
That would seem like rain
To me and you.

The angels all stood ready
To take Him from the tree,
They waited for the words
From His voice.
And when He asked the Father,
"Why has Thou forsaken Me?"
They watched the Savior die
Of His own choice.

I've never seen ten thousand angels cry
But I'm sure that they did,
As they stood by
And watched the Savior die.

God turned His head away ...
He couldn't bear the sight;
It must have looked like rain
When ten thousand angels cried.

As the sun slipped away,
The skies turned to grey;
And when Jesus gave His all,
That's when the tears began to fall.

I've never seen ten thousand angels cry
But I'm sure that they did;
As they stood by
And watched the Savior die.

God turned His head away . . .
He couldn't bear the sight;
It must have looked like rain
When ten thousand angels cried.
