when the angel came, the little girl was blessed
she had a song in time, with the beating in her chest
but she was afraid because holiness is a flame from God
God was there in her, but it was more than she could bear
Gloria
and the sky was bright, with the messengers in white
their faces shined like fire in the night
and the old man blind has finally seen it with his eyes
the angel's song, like heaven's noise, can now be mine
Gloria
When i was young my mother gave me a song
she said listen son, you know this aching life ain't long
so live it well, cause when heaven turns to hell for you
when all is lost, it will be all that you've got
when these bones are dust and all's been said and done
when we come to the ancient place prepared for us
when we begin again and all our tears are gone
we will stand before the Lord of song with nothing on our tongues but..
Gloria
