THE LAMB
 
Shepherds were keeping their tender sheep,
While Mary watched baby Jesus sleep.
In a weary stable warmed by the light
Shone round the Son of God, oh so bright!
 
From far and near the Lamb was adored.
His name...Jesus...Everlasting Lord!
The Savior's cry was holy and dear,
In His eyes...a gentle tear.
 
"Precious Son of God!" the angels sing,
While someone is jealous...Herod the King.
He yells and screams with a voice of fear,
In a dream, that God lets Joseph hear.
 
"Herod the King wants to take your son.
So take Him gently, rise now and run!"
Joseph obeyed, and did as God told,
As the Wisemen searched, so brave and bold.
 
Mary, to the Prince of Peace, gave birth.
God sent the Lamb, from Heaven to earth.
Though born in a stable, He is the King!
Today all Christians...His praises ring!
