[Verse 1]
E A/E
An angel came down
B/E A/E E
One night to the earth
A/E
A mission from God
B/E A/E E
To find out the worth
A/E
Of everything that
B/E A/E E
His children had done
A/E
Since that winter night
B/E A/E E
The birth of His son
[Chorus]
A/C# A
And then a sound filled the night
E/B B E
In the cold winter air
A/C# A
And in the midst of his flight
E/B B E
It was holding him there
A/C# A
And as he looked toward the earth
E/B B E
For the source of this sound
A/C# A
On that cold winter night
E/B B E
It was pulling him down
A/E B/E A/E E
[Verse 2]
E A/E
To bring something back
B/E A/E E
This angel was told
A/E
That no one could touch
B/E A/E E
But angels could hold
A/E
So on that night
B/E A/E E
When the sky had cleared
A/E
Among all the stars
B/E A/E E
An angel appeared
[Chorus]
A/C# A
And then a sound filled the night
E/B B E
In the cold winter air
A/C# A
And in the midst of his flight
E/B B E
It was holding him there
A/C# A
And as he looked towards the earth
E/B B E
For the source of this sound
A/C# A
On that cold winter night
E/B B E
It was pulling him down
[Instrumental]
B E A E A E B E B E
[Outro]
A/C# A
And then a sound filled the night
E/B B E
In the cold winter air
A/C# A
And in the midst of his flight
E/B B E
It was holding him there
A/C# A
And as he looked towards the earth
E/B B E
For the source of this sound
A/C# A
On that cold winter night
E/B B E A/E B/E A/E E
It was pulling him down
