Messengers of Heaven

Lyrics

I brought your fathers out of bondage To the richness of this land And they knew and praised the One Who gave them everything they had But now their children's children's children Take their lives into their hands They put their faith in flesh and blood And hope in wind and sand But the messengers of heaven now Are moving through the land And everything that's said and done They see and understand And if one man in a thousand Can be found to follow Me Then for the sake of only one I'll let the others be You worship what your hands have made In gold and steel and stone As if your souls could be contained By all the things you own And you praise Me with your lips alone And bury love inside Your hardened hearts that beat for lust And cannot feel for pride But the messengers of heaven now Are moving through the land And everything that's said and done They see and understand And if one man in a thousand Can be found to follow Me Then for the sake of only one I'll let the others be The prophet in the marketplace Speaks strange and different tongues And he cries aloud to every man "The judgement has begun!" But if you'll just believe his word And turn from all your sin I'll heal your land of all its hurts And bless you once again And the messengers of heaven now Are moving through the land Everything that's said and done They see and understand And if one man in a thousand Can be found to follow Me Then for the sake of only one I'll let the others be The messengers of heaven now Are moving through the land Everything that's said and done They see and understand And if one man in a thousand Can be found to follow Me Then for the sake of only one I'll let the others be...
