Fred Hammond's "Make The Angels Cry" is a stirring gospel song that calls believers to reflect on their faith and actions. The lyrics lament how the church and nation have turned away from God, causing sorrow even among angels. Hammond urges Christians to unite with holy boldness and share the message of God's love, referencing the well-known verse about God giving His Son. The song emphasizes the urgency of evangelism and the need to see others through God's eyes, so that we no longer grieve the angels but instead bring joy through faithful witness.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
We're a nation
And we've left the truth
And God we trust
We've seem to set aside
Rejecting Him
Is enough to make the angels cry
We're the church
And we are sanctified, it's true
But we watch the world
Just senseless die
Playing safe
Is enough to make the angels cry
For God so loved the world
He gave His Son so that we could live
And we must, oh, so proud proclaim
His wondrous gift, His gift
We're believers, let us all unite
With holy boldness turn the lost to Christ
See them through His eyes
Then we won't make the angels cry
Make the angels cry
