| And The Lamb Wept........ The angels couldn't move, they could barely draw a breath The words they'd just heard told of violence, spoke of death And as a crystal tear of grief slid slowly down His face, The angel's hearts were breaking, for the Lamb, the Human Race And the Lamb wept................. With haste, the Host departed, their time was running out They descended on the earth with a mighty battle shout They whispered words of warning and prayed that men would hear And for every word unheeded, the Lamb would shed a tear And the Lamb wept................. The warnings of the angels saved many lives that day Some people changed their plans, some simply stayed away And yet, there were the others, sent in to battle Hell They were, what we called heros and they saved lives as well And the Lamb wept................. The angels heard the engines roar, they knew this was the hour The plane bore down, it surged ahead into the Northern Tower The angels gently cradled every soul that died that day The Lamb slowly bowed His head, to The Father He did pray And the Lamb wept............. No More............................... The angels swarmed the Norther Tower, their strength, it bore the weight With pounding wings they held it up, they kept that building straight But when their strength began to wane and effort made them groan Then power flowed from God above, right from the Holy Throne And the Lamb wept............... No More..................................... The second plane made it's approach, the engine throbbed with power It never swerved, it stayed on course, it pierced the Southern Tower The fires billowed out black smoke and soot rained down below But people's prayers rode the wind in a steady, urgent flow And the Lamb wept.................. No More...................... The angel's couldn't do no more, they had to back away So God reached down to do the rest because the people prayed But when the time had finally come to let the towers go Two beams that formed the Cross remained, so every man would know And the Lamb wept.................. No More............................. Two more planes came down that day, all part of Satan's plan This "Nation Under God" had suffered evil in its land And yet, admidst their loss and grief, the people stopped to pray They knew their path to healing meant that God must lead the way And the Lamb wept................. No More............................ |
