Johnny cash we are the shepherds lyrics

So here is the stable and there is the manger 



The new Saviour sleeps on his first earthly night 



The wise men brought riches but we brought a candle 



It's all that we have but it gives a good light 



We are the shepherds we walked cross the mountains 



We left our flocks when the new star appeard 



Oh the beautiful singin' of heavenly choir 



We had to come see him we had to come here 



We beg you forgive us for such a small offering 



But our sheep are out there with wolves in the night 



We bring you this candle it's all we have with us 



But with it the new Saviour has his first light 



We are the shepherds... 



We thank Thee kind Joseph for bidding us enter 



Please take our gift for the new babe to thine 



'Tis only one candle but it is our symbol 



Of how we believe that his great life will shine 



We are the shepherds...
