Just a lonely shepherd, watching o'er his flocks by night
Gazes and amazes at the star that shines so bright
"Surely it's a sign of something great to come
Could be the coming of the holy one?"
Then streaming down from heaven, there suddenly appeared
A host of angels, singing praises, ringing in his ears
"All glory be to God in heaven and on earth be peace to all
For born to you in Bethlehem in a lonely cattle stall
A Saviour who will lead you from those paths of sin so worn
Tell the whole nation, tell the population
Of this revelation, Christ is born"
So the lonely shepherds wandered through the tiny town
Searching in the streets until the blessed babe they found
In a lonely stable and in a manger laid
Such a humble shelter for the holy babe
He came to be our Saviour, a man with love to share
He lived and died to change the lives of people everywhere
And ever since he's touched me too, I haven't been the same
My world's a new creation and my life's more than a game
The Saviour now has led me from those paths of sin so worn
I'll tell the whole nation, tell the population
Of this revelation, Christ is born
