As an angel, in the heavenly
realm,
commissioned in heaven
we serve the Lord,
whatever God pleases
We descend from heaven
to share a message
to intervene as God ordains
in creation, the world;
I am God’s Messenger
sent from heaven
to speak to mortals
a message from God
I spoke to Daniel
about the end times, the
future
the rise and fall of nations
and the persecution of the
people
I prophesied to Daniel
about the coming Messiah
I told him about the victory
in the seventieth week
I shared with Daniel
the distance futures
when only God knows
when He will fulfill it
I spoke to Zechariah
in the Holy of Holies
in the Temple in Jerusalem
I spoke to him of John
the baby, the prophet
fulfilling the prophets
to make a way straight
to prepare for the Lord;
but he did not believe
and I struck him silent
for doubting, for
questioning
the word of God
I spoke to Mary
the young virgin
the betrothed of Joseph
I told her of God’s plan
I told her a tale of wonder
she would be the one
to fulfill scripture
she would bear a child
the Son of God
and she would name him Jesus
the Savior, Messiah
come to the earth
I spoke to the shepherds
proclaiming the Good News
Christ’s coming from heaven
God come to earth
I shouted praises
with the heavenly choir
we knew the story
why God came down
I spoke to the shepherds
on the hilltop that night
bringing the Good News
of Christ’s birth in
Bethlehem
