Angels pop up all over the place in the Christmas Story - they're messengers from God, with news that is exciting, challenging, and wonderful. Mary, Joseph, the Shepherds - they all hear from God via Angels. Funny thing is, almost every time an Angel appears, the first thing they say is "Don't be afraid"! They must have been pretty scary...
That's the thought behind this fun song from Maynard's Groovy Bible Tunes: "I'm an angel - ooh!"
Here's a snippet:
Here are the words:
I'm an angel - OOH! God's messenger to you, and I'm scary- BOO! but what I say is true: Don't be afraid, It's happening - That baby is God's promised King!
1. Hey - Mary! You're Gonna have a baby (x3) and He's God's Son!
2. Hey - Joseph! You're Gonna call him Jesus (x3) it means "God Saves"!
3. Hey - Shepherds! Come and see the baby! (x3) He's God's Good News!
