A Christmas Angel by Vicky Edwards

Gabriel the angel was sent from God.
To give a message that would be heard abroad.
To a virgin engaged to be married.
And with love this message he carried.
He told sweet Mary not to fear.
For the message I bring is of good cheer.
For you will give birth to God's Son.
Through him the battle with Satan will be won. Mary asked how can this be?
For no man has ever known me.
The angel replied through God's decree.
The Holy Ghost will fill you with his seed.
Jesus is the name you will give him.
And he will make the sun look dim.
With fear and joy filling Mary's heart.
Replied I as his handmaid will do my part.
With that reply the angel did leave.
For he knewthat Mary did believe
That her son would one day be King.
And the world's salvation would he bring.
