SHEPHERDS CHRISTMAS
The angel said to follow the star
To seek a newborn child
The one who’d bring the world hope
A new covenant with God
So we left our sleeping flocks behind
To follow that bright star
Down the hills to Bethlehem
To a lowly stable cave
Joseph nodded, bid us to come in
Mary’s smile eased our fears
We stepped close and saw the child
Lying in a manger bed
Then while angels sang a song on high
We knelt before that bed
This child moved our hearts to peace
We saw God’s promise there.
