Worried that the Church fails to worship God? Don't worry because the angels have it covered. Not an excuse to do nothing but a larger perspective on the way things are.

This is a "spec song." I was asked to write an angel song by a group I write for called "Porch Swing Sisters." I'm not into angels--why focus on them when we can focus on God?--so I wrote a worship song disguised as an angel song.

1. We know that creation
can't sing its song of heaven on this earth
Where voices have been silenced
with a deathly pall that started in the curse.
The noises of violence, destruction,
and distress is all that's heard.
And we forget the one who made us
waits for all to join the heavenly mirth.

But angels and elders are gathered 'round our Savior
singing Holy! Holy! to the Lamb of God.
All of creation will find its holy purpose
giving voice to God's greatness and love.

2. We see through glass darkly
and so we cannot see our Savior's face.
Instead all that we see is earth
corrupt and ugly, beauty out of place
God is always present
but only eyes that look above will see
The glory of the Savior
where loud and holy praises never cease.

Angels and elders are gathered 'round our Savior
singing Holy! Holy! to the Lamb of God.
All of creation will find its holy purpose
giving voice to God's greatness and love.
