Ten Thousand Angels Cried

1. The song describes the crucifixion of Jesus from the perspective of angels witnessing the event. It imagines ten thousand angels weeping as Jesus dies on the cross, which would appear as rain. As Jesus asks why God has forsaken him, the angels watch the savior die of his own choice. 2. The chorus sings that the singer has never seen ten thousand angels cry but is sure they did as they stood by and watched Jesus die. God turned away unable to bear the sight, which must have looked like rain when ten thousand angels cried. 3. As the sun sets and the skies darken, the angels begin to weep when Jesus gives his all, dying on the cross
