lyrics

(singing)
And so the Angel pretended
To be a mere sheep.
Into the flock his disguise blended
And the shepherd didn’t know.
And they started walking home.
Down through the fields they went towards the road.
The road bore no travelers.
And so they journeyed alone.

And that’s when they heard it
A soft, sweet cry
The Angel turned then,
To look behind
He saw a man
A man and his wife
Approaching far on a hill
And instantly he knew who they were
They were Christ’s parents on Earth

The shepherd saw them too
The woman was crying
She seemed to be in pain
She looked very pregnant
And then her husband explained,
Joseph, he explained.

“Shepherd, Shepherd, you’re an answer to prayer.
We’ve been looking in Bethlehem but found no shelter there?
Do you know, a place we could go, somewhere close, close by?
As you can see, Mary’s in labor. My name’s Joseph and Mary is my wife.”
