***the song is NOT "Ten Thousand Angels" or "He Could Have Called Ten Thousand Angels," I am aware of that song, that's not the song I'm searching for***
***I also realize that I have a ridiculously-small amount of information (i.e. little to nothing to go on***
***I have searched the internet and many databases; I've had Directors at the nearest Seminary do deep dives...I've tried so many things***
***I am coordinating a big stage production for our church (Easter 2026) and I feel in my heart that this song is supposed to be an anchor for the whole production. Until now, I've just been searching for it because I loved listening to it. But I believe there's a much more important reason that I find it now.***
LYRICS I REMEMBER FROM THE SONG:
from the CHORUS-> "ten thousand times ten thousand...the angels could not understand...how The Father could let His only Son...die for sinful man"
from the BRIDGE-> "The Father broke the silence...He said roll away the stone...the suffering is over...a/my child is coming home!"
adjusted CHORUS at the END-> "ten thousand times ten thousand...oh the angels [?bid his train?]...He'll be King of Kings and Lord of Lords...when He comes again."
INFO/CLUES ABOUT THE LYRICS:
*The lyrics above are either 100% exactly accurate, or they are 99.99% accurate/precise.
*I don't remember the exact lyrics from the verses/other parts of the song, but earlier verses described Jesus in the desert (i.e. after the temptations) when the angels DID go and tend to Him; and the general/overall "theme" of the song is how the angels must have wanted to help Him at other times, especially on the cross, and how they waited for the Father to send them, but He didn't (for obvious reasons) but the idea of how the angels might not have understood is the core concept of the song
*Most (of the other) songs on the album were that traditional/sort've-hoakie-style/tempo (definitely not being negative, just trying to establish a reference) but the song I am looking for stood out from the rest: it was more refined, very powerful, it was "BIG" very very "big"
OTHER FACTS/CLUES:
*The group was a traditional southern gospel trio (or quartet) (all white males)
*The CD had a blue background with their picture on the cover
*I believe all (or almost all) of the songs on the album were original songs
*The style of singing was very traditional/"cliche" (again, not using those terms negatively) of the late-70s-late-80s style
*There is another song on the album that I believe is entitled "It's Not a Gamble" or something like that, and a lyric from it was, "It's not a gamble to trust in the Lord. His promises are Yea and Amen" (this is NOT the song I'm looking for, but it's on the same CD/album)
Thank you to anyone who is able to assist. God Bless.
Need Help: Searching for this song for 20 years - Ten Thousand Times Ten Thousand
Re: Need Help: Searching for this song for 20 years
I have tried to figure out most of the lyrics from the recording. I hope it helps!
Ten Thousand Times Ten Thousand
A silence fell in Heaven,
Like its streets had never known.
And the angels stood bewildered around the throne.
Without question they had served Him,
And followed the orders,
To stand with Him once again.
One had brought the news to Mary,
That she would bear God’s son.
And He filled the sky with praises,
That night in Bethlehem.
Some fasting in the desert,
And heard His anguished prayer.
Each time the Father sent them, they brought Him loving care.
They were waiting for the Son to call them,
Anxious for the Father to say “Go.”
They could fly to His side in a moment,
But the Father slowly whispered “No.”
And ten thousand times ten thousand,
Oh, the angels could not understand,
How the Father could let His only Son die for sinful man.
They watched the soldiers mock Him,
Heard the crowd in anger cry.
Saw Him fall beneath His burden,
And they watched Him crucified.
In the horror of that moment,
In the darkness of the day,
They were astonished, as the Father slowly turned His face away.
They were waiting for the Son to call them,
Anxious for the Father to say “Go.”
They could fly to His side in a moment,
But the Father slowly whispered “No.”
And ten thousand times ten thousand,
Oh, the angels could not understand,
How the Father could let His only Son die for sinful man.
The Father broke the silence,
He said “Roll away the stone!”
“His suffering is over, my Son is coming home!”
Now they are waiting for the Son to lead them,
And they are anxious for the Father to say “Go.”
And the ??? dressed for battle,
On horses white as snow.
And ten thousand times ten thousand,
Oh, the angels bid His train,
He’ll be King of Kings and Lord of Lords,
When He comes again.
And ten thousand times ten thousand,
Oh, the angels bid His train.
He’ll be King of Kings and Lord of Lords,
When He comes again!
