What a sad time in heavean
the angels gathered around the throne
they couldn't stand to watch Jesus dieing all alone
it broke their hearts to see the blood that he shed
they were all prepared to fly but God turned to them and said
Angels sit down
He's not going to call
he's saving the world becoming sin for them all
I know that you can save him
but he's not the one in need
Angels sit down and let him set the captives free
What a happy time in heaven
when the gate swings open wide
the church goes marching in
to our home beyond the sky
as we meet our blessed Savior
all the angels form a band
they start to sing a song
but God turns to them and says
Angels sit down
this is not your song
see the smiles on their face
they have waited so long
they been down to the fountain
by your blood they been redeemed
so Angels sit down and let my children sing
They been down to the fountain by the blood they been redeemed
so Angels sit down and let my children sing
