A Beating Heart

"Arise," said the angel in his dream 

Take the child and his mother...flee

Into a foreign land this night depart

Evil seeks this child's beating heart

Destruction of all the little children

Fallen away by the sword of death

Snatched away by a senseless sin

The end of life and holy innocence

Arise, guardians of the Most High

Awake from this horrific nightmare

No longer can life stand idly by

While countless lives just disappear

This night the angel is crying out

Tears are raining down from heaven

In this joyful season of forgiving

Protect the sacredness of living

Arise, guardians of the Most High

Holy innocence must be renewed

Beating hearts born for this time

A beating heart is in need of you
