An angel came to me, so I thought it’d all be fine
But there’s no room at the Inn, and the kid ain’t even mine
And we had to walk all this way to Bethlehem
And to tell you the truth, I have my doubts now and then

But I listen for his voice
And I don’t complain
I trust in the Lord and praise his name
And I follow his guiding light
And love him with all my might

An angel came to me, said go down Egypt way
So I packed up my little family and left right away
My poor wife walked all the way without a tear
Now we’re hundreds of miles from home, we don’t know nobody here

But I listen for his voice
And I don’t complain
I trust in the Lord and praise his name
And I follow his guiding light
And love him with all my might

An angel came to me, said go back to your homeland
So I packed up the family and I prayed she’d understand
As I watched my wife, again, walk all those miles
Something told me it wouldn’t be the hardest of her trials

But she listens for his voice
And she don’t complain
She trusts the Lord and I hear her praising his name
As I follow his guiding light
And love him with all my might

An angel came to me, this time to call me home
I kissed my wife and reminded her she’s not alone
‘Cause right here is the King of Kings
He’s the Light of the World, of whom the angels sing

So listen for his voice
And don’t complain
Trust the Lord and praise his holy name
And follow his guiding light
And love him with all your might
