I Need An Angel

But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests.” When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.” So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger.
Luke 2:10-16

I stood in the darkness, alone in the night.
I stood against evil, and danger and fright.
I looked up to heaven, to the Lord up above,
“I need an Angel,” I cried. “I need Your Love!”

From stars overhead came trumpets of joy,
To here in a manger, this small baby boy.
Born to a world of anger and sorrow,
Promising hope and a bright new tomorrow.

Throughout all the earth God’s creatures gave praise.
They sang through the nights and into the days.
Their song flew to heaven, their mighty chorus soared,
“My Angel is here, ‘tis Christ the Lord!”
