The Reason
A Messenger
Copyright 2006.
Written for an Advent Story project I'm working on. This is from the perspective of Gabriel, bringing word to
Zacharias concerning the birth of his son John.
Gabriel's name literally means 'The Lord is My Strength', which is why this 'text' appears inserted in this song.
Lyrics
Verse 1:
I have come to bring a message from the Lord Most High
This miracle will happen right before your eyes.
About this time next year, you will have a boy
Name him John, he will bring you joy.
Chorus:
I'm a messenger, a messenger, with good news for you
I bring to you a message, that is what I do
I am Gabriel, Gabriel, "The Lord is My Strength"
And I stand in the presence of God.
Verse 2:
Now here's some more of the message from the Lord of Hosts:
He'll be filled before birth with the Holy Ghost.
He will go before the Lord, to prepare the way
To make the people ready for that day.
Chorus:
