Sample of script:

I wonder if the angels knew, when singing high o'er Bethlehem,
I wonder if they understood the honor God bestowed on them?
I wonder, from their heavenly home, from their glory in the air,
I wonder if they understood God's gift of Jesus, the pains He'd bear.
I wonder if the angels knew?

I wonder if the angels knew, as they looked down upon the earth,
I wonder if seemed unfair, a cave must be His place of birth?
I wonder if they questioned why, the Lord of all creation's power,
I wonder if they were amazed, mere animals witnessed to this hour.
I wonder if the angels knew?

I wonder if the angels knew, how on earth He'd live and die
I wonder if God hid the fact that Jesus would be crucified.
I wonder if the angels knew, if somehow God gave them insight,
I wonder if they understood what God was giving man that night.
I wonder if the angels knew?
