No Obvious Angels

Tune Name: KINZELL

Lyrics as Poetry

No obvious angels
sing through the night skies,
no thunderstruck
shepherds tell out their surprise,for Christmas comes into
the here and the now
through star-sighted people,
the watchful and hopeful,
who wake us to see a new world.Our angel potential
is waiting to start!
The Spirit will teach us
the song of the heart,for Christmas comes into
the here and the now
through peace-maker people,
the just and the gentle,
the stars who will light the new world.Whoever will take it
is given the role:
the fruitful, the faithful,
the joyous of soul,for Christmas comes into
the here and the now
when we are the angels
who dream and deliver,
who rise and create this new world!
