We Are the Shepherds Songtext

von Johnny Cash

We are the Shepherds

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...
