whispered in their dreams – v3

The history of the world,

the very future of life

Changed in that moment,

when their faith prevailed

when they were comforted, when they agreed

their lives were forever altered when

the angels whispered in their dreams

a Savior was given life, given parents,

the prophesy of old was fulfilled

From the stump will come our God.

The Peaceable Kingdom will come.
