Lyrics Shepherds' Watch - Michael Card

Shepherds watch, listening to lambs bleat
Tired backs, worn out and cold feet
All life long, living like outcasts
All life long, longing for life

A dazzling light, the voice of an angel
Gripped with fear, terrified they fell
One like a man, yet awesome and holy
A face so fierce and yet strangely kind

Do not be afraid, I've good news of great joy
Your Savior is come, He's Christ, the Lord
As a sign to you, the One born today
Will be wrapped in rags, asleep on the hay

And all at once the air filled with angels
Glory shone of holiness they smelled
Glory be to God in the highest
And peace on earth to all those He loves

Do not be afraid, I've good news of great joy
Your Savior is come, He's Christ, the Lord
As a sign to you, the one born today
Will be wrapped in rags, asleep on the hay

As a sign to you, the One born today
Will be wrapped in rags, asleep on the hay
