Rebecca Minor - My Friend Gabriel Lyrics

My Friend Gabriel
Music and Lyrics by Peter Link

My friend Gabriel
As long as I have known him
Could play that trumpet
Oh yes, he could play

I would hear him in the night
Soaring
Oh Lord he could play that horn

I would hear him in the day light
Pouring out those brilliant notes
And sounding forth the music of God

Oh my
Oh yes
That Gabriel
He could play

My friend Gabriel
Was also quite the angel
Besides that trumpet
Oh yes, he could speak

He was always God's first call
That Gabriel
To bring the word of God unto the world

And whenever God had something
Something mighty big to say
My friend Gabriel was the messenger of God

Why I remember way back when,
His immortal words,
As he changed the face of the world

He said, I am Gabriel
And I stand in the presence of God

Oh fear not, Mary: for thou hast found God's favor
And, behold, thou shall conceive,
And bring forth a son,
(Oh yeah
I wish I could play my horn)
And you shall call his name JESUS.

And of his kingdom there shall be no end.

It was Gabriel spoke these words
That live on today
Yes the night I remember most
Was the night I heard him play
On the night the child was born
And I got so excited
They had to carry me away

I remember that night
Oh my that Gabriel he could play
Yes the night I remember most
Was the night I heard him play
The night the child was born

Doncha know that angel could play that horn
Oh my that Gabriel could play
