After the song was over Nearly every person there Went to the cathedral's basement And started setting up tables and chairs For that night this church would feed Any person in life who had less And both those that gave and those that received Left that night feeling blessed Then the angel remembered something That his lord's son had once said On how one truly followed him When words and acts were wed Some people claim to follow him But themselves they just deceive For his lord's son had said, "you will know who truly follows me Not by what they say, but by their deeds" And this church was clearly filled With kind people of goodwill But the angel had more time left on this night And continued to search on still So the angel left the parishioners With their christmas meal in happy bliss And returned once more to the hotel To make sure that there was no one there he had missed And passing by a village square He heard a brass quartet Whose christmas concerto in the key of g He felt lighten his every step [Instrumental]
