As shepherds watched their flocks one night
By fires to light their darkness
They soon would see a greater Light
The cause of Heaven's brightness

Their fears would quickly fade away
On that first Christmas Day
For from that hour, to Earth would come
The Truth, the Life, the Way

A world whose sin was black as night
No longer had to grope
In dreary paths where many died
Now came a brand new Hope

In human form God came to Earth
In lowly crib He lay
And now all men can hope in Him
Because of Christmas Day

Yet it is sad at Christmas time
That many turn their gaze
On some cute roly-poly man
Who sets some hearts ablaze

And yet he's just the end result
Of vain imaginations
He's just not fit to be compared
With He who rules the nations

Who will you see this season blessed
Will it be food or malls?
Will you be tuned to things like that
Or hear the Lord who calls?
