the angel's song

"Can you hear the sound, the sound of angel's singing, the sound of angel's songs?
Let us join the sound, let us join the singing, let us join the song."
Desperation Band, Angel Song.


The song is in the battle, where nation's rage and bodies lay,
it's in the moment when a baby cries it's first breath,

the song whisper's in the desperate moment of reconciliation,
it shouts in the moment of loss, when the door closes and she walks away

The song sings when voices, lifted up, lay aside their differences, their agenda, their ignorance, and come together for worship; holy and pure

The song plays over the threats of the bully, over the cries of the broken, over the moment of collision when pain is felt and curses are spoken and anguish bleeds out,

The song lingers in the bar rooms and back rooms, in the cruelty of humanity,
the results of hatred, and effects of choice

The song rises up.

Holy, holy, holy
Hallelujah, God Almighty
The One who was and is and is to come,
Holy is His Name

The song sings sweetly in the prayer of tongues,
offering worship and praise

The song dances brightly in the worship of a child,
unfettered, abandoned, bringing glory and purity

The song proclaims in the streets of the city and the
back country roads, the streams in the valley,
and the coasts of the sea

it rises above economic status or social station,
ethic creed, color or nation

Listen to the song, can you hear it singing?
