A Special Night
As shepherds were tending their flocks that day
They had no idea what was coming their way
As evening approached, as it drew near
They heard voices of angels singing so clear
The message the angels portrayed in their song
Told of the birth of our savior, It would not be long
Mary and Joseph in a stable with hay
Would greet their new son, he was on his way
This great miracle they must see
Leaving their flocks they went to Bethleham with glee
Following a star so bright in the sky
That God had provided to serve as a guide
When they arrived what joy they felt
As before the savior in the manger they knelt
What is so wonderful about this story I've told
We can still find the savior like the shepherds of old
Instead of a manger we kneel at the cross
Where Jesus showed love as his life he lost
But he arose on the third day
And sits by God's throne in Heaven today
So when he knocks just let him in
He will forgive you of all of your sins
