Nativity -- The Sheep

How about that little lamb that accompanied the sheep and the shepherds to the manger. I think I have a cool twist in this as well.



I hadn’t been born for long
when I heard the strangest song
sung by angels up on high
from the brightest starlit sky.

“Peace on earth” I heard them sing
as they told us of a king
born on this such special night
as the shepherds shook from fright.

My weak legs weren’t working right
as the shepherds took their flight
to see what the angels toldo
on this hillside so very cold.

To a barn they sped with us
to check out this cause for fuss
we entered a little stall
and stood there all filled with awe.

In a manger a boy laid
the shepherds knelt down and prayed
I crept up to take a peek
at the child who was so meek..

On my back legs so I could see
as he looked right back at me
with a big smile on his face
which caused my heart start to race.

We didn’t know that some day
after we had gone our way
cloth from my wool he would wear
when his message he’d declare.

To clothe our Lord in such a beautiful way is an honor for the lamb. We, too, are honored to be covered with His love.

God bless you. Kathy
