SHEPHERD BOY
Author(s): Paul Michael
Songbook: Love Songs Songbook
KeyWords: Bible Characters,Christmas,

He was born down the road a few miles from here
In a place called Bethlehem,
Laid in a manger in a stable
On the edge of town.
Shepherds in the field nearby
To them an angel came,
Said, "Fear not, to you this day
There has been born a King."

Chorus:
Now on this day I want to say
That Jesus is that King,
And I was one of those shepherd boys
Who heard the angels sing.

When they nailed Him to the cross,
His only crown was thorns,
But this is why He came to the world,
Why Jesus Christ was born.
We were like sheep without a shepherd,
Lost and gone astray,
So He came to Earth that Christmas night
To light our darkened way.
