Angels

Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of Hosts, this is what they cried
I could not fathom being in His presence not even if I tried
What presence fills the angelic choir with worship and a song?
Who are these beings who sing His praise all the day long?

Are they not the Lord’s ministering spirits sent to refresh the saint?
They come to give us the strength we need so that we will not faint
They are sent to help us along the way lest we dash our foot against a stone
They are ever watching over us the Lord sees to it we are never alone

They too like us are all created beings,
Some of them have many arms and eyes and all of them have wings
They have many roles to play according to God’s Word
They come to fight a battle and to proclaim the Lord

They were at the garden’s entrance to protect it from mankind
They went to Lot to see if a righteous man they could find
Two cherubim watch over the Mercy Seat the only place for grace
The angels cannot fathom this grace though they see him face to face

They came to the shepherds to proclaim the Holy child’s birth
And peace and goodwill through out the entire earth
They broke the shackles off Peter and led him out of jail
They do not do these things them selves, the Lord Jesus is who they hail

The Arc Angel waits for the trumpets sound to snatch us from the world
To gather up the saint of God we are not of this world
There is a day that they will come to open up God’s seals
They are coming quickly with God’s judgment to reveal

These creatures yes are awesome yet they do not deserve our praise
Give your worship to the King, The Holy One, the Ancient of Days
Worship the Creator not the creature who is forever praised Amen!
They are our fellow servants they are created beings
Though we see through God’s word they do much, much more than sing
They love to serve the God who reigns through all eternity

Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty who was and is and is to come 
I hear them at God’s Throne
For after all He is the Lord our beloved Cornerstone
