Angels And Prophets Among Us

 

Angels And Prophets Among Us
(Verse One:)
Angels and prophets among us a voice crying out to be heard
A virgin becoming a mother knitting her flesh to the Word

REFRAIN
O Mary be near in our longing with Isaiah the prophet and John
And Gabriel singing the Good News
Our darkness will break with the dawn
Rejoice, Rejoice Emmanuel
Shall come to thee O Israel

(Verse Two:)
Angels and prophets among us remind us and tell us again
That God is in love with His people
More than lover or father or friend. 

(Verse Three:)
Angels and prophets among us gather to pray with us here
Revealing God's love found in Jesus
Seen or unseen they are near. 

(Verse Four:)
Angels and prophets among us in homes or at risk on the street
In faces we've known for a lifetime in people we happen to meet

(Verse Five:)
Angels and prophets among us
Who charge us to focus on Christ
Though apathy reigns in our country
Being faithful demands a great price. 

(Verse Six:)
Angels and prophets among us
Who comfort and challenge and guide
Who call us to peace in the chaos
And pierce us when puffed up with pride.
