Sadness filled the heavens on crucifixion day,

Some say it rained, I don't know if it's true.

I can just imagine, ten thousand angels cry

That would seem like rain to me and you.

The angels all stood ready to take him from the tree

They waited for the words from his voice

When he asked the father, "Why has thou forsaken me?"

They watched the savior die of his own choice.

I've never seen ten thousand angels cry,

But I'm sure they did as they stood by and watched the savior die

God turned his head away he couldn't bear the sight.

It must have looked like rain when ten thousand angels cried.

As the sun slipped away, the skies turned to gray

And when Jesus gave his all, that's when the tears began to fall.

I've never seen ten thousand angels cry.

But I'm sure they did as they stood by and watched the savior die,

God turned his head away, He couldn't bear the sight

It must have looked like rain when ten thousand angels cried.

It must have looked like rain.... when ten thousand angels cried.

As you celebrate Easter this year, my prayer for you is that you might remember the full reason behind the celebration.

The gifts we give or receive in our Easter baskets can in no way compare to the original gift we've been given... the gift of eternal life.

I imagine that the angels did cry out, in anguish and in pain as Jesus hung there on the cross. For you and for me. Emotions overwhelm me when I think about the gift that Jesus gave so freely and so unconditionally.

My God bless you this Easter season.
