Verse 1
I saw hands reaching out, or so they seemed to try.
I heard children from their cribs raise their voices & cry.
There were failing hearts, faintly beating in lonely lives,
But in the eyes of a thousand tears, there was a hope in sight.

Chorus 1
There came angels to their side,
Carried on wings of caring love.
Bringing gifts of joy, gifts of hope,
They saw angels in their sight,
Angels.

Verse 2
Lives were touched, hope regained.
I saw tears of joy coming down like rain.
Now they knew God had cared
When He sent you to bring His Son, their answered prayer.

Repeat Chorus 1

Verse 3
Heaven had touched these lives so concealed.
Look at your hands, He used them to heal.
You see weakness; they saw your loving hands,
God sees your caring heart; they saw firsthand …

Chorus 2
You were angels by their side,
Carried on wings of caring love.
Bringing gifts of joy, gifts of hope,
You were angels,
You were angels,
You were angels in their sight.
Angels.
