An angel came down

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 holding him there

And as he looked towards the Earth
For the source of the 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 the sound
On that cold winter night
It was pulling him down
