The Shepherds’ Song

Sunset over Shepherds’ Field

Shepherds’ field and the Chapel at Shepherds’ field in the town of Beit Sahur, is today in an eastern suburb of Bethlehem. This is where the angel announced the birth of Christ to the shepherds. They left their flocks and went to search for the baby Jesus. The chapel is known for it’s excellent acoustics. Caves where shepherds “kept watch over their flock” are still numerous in this area.

Luke 2: 8-20

Lyrics

What can we bring You, Our Savior Christ the Lord
King of Heaven and the earth
What would make You smile, our Holy little Child
As we celebrate Your birth

How can we show to You, what we’re feeling inside.
Our hearts race at Your Name
You’re our Brother and Guide
Sent by the Father to free us from sin
You opened Heavens gates to let us in

We bring You love in a song
That comes from our heart
As we sing it to You we each sing our own part
We are blessed we give thanks
That You willed us to live
But most of all we just want to give
Our love to You
Like You ask us to do

Angels gather in the sky, and sweetly sing Your praise
That Your birth on earth be told
Shepherds marvel at the site
They leave their flocks tonight
To find the babe who was foretold

They walked on through the night
Filled with joy not afraid
To the City of David
Where Christ the Lord Laid
He’s come among us, His birth brings us light
This is how we’ll thank You Lord tonight

We bring You love in a song
That comes from our heart
As we sing it to You we each sing our own part
We are blessed we give thanks
That You willed us to live
But most of all we just want to give
Our love to You
Like You ask us to do

What can we bring you
we bring you love.
