WHEN ANGELS WEPT

As the rain pours from the skies today
When the world is seen in shades of gray
My mind drifts back to another day
When the greatest debt in the world was paid

When heaven wept and angels cried
When the King of Kings was crucified
When the temple veil was torn in two
When access to God came to me and you

How sad our Creator must have been
To place on His son the world’s sin
But a loving God willing to sacrifice
His precious son to save my life

So even as the rain pours down
There’s no reason for me to frown
For even though the Savior died
Three days later death He defied!

The grave could not hold the Son of Light
Darkness fled like a thief in the night
Gray skies once again became bright
Angels tears dried as they beheld the sight
The Gloried Lamb, Holy, Just and Right
