cry, shepherds, cry.

As I thought about how God chose to declare the message of the birth of the Savior to shepherds, people I see out in the bush with their animals every day, He gave me this song about a few shepherds from His Word and even one here in Toposaland!

"Cry, Shepherd, Cry"

A young boy protects the lambs

From attacks by wolves and lions

His heart looks to the Lord above

This shepherd turned king

Heard a voice, commanding…

CHORUS 1:

Cry, shepherd, cry

Tell your heart message

To the One who listens to you

Cry, shepherd, cry

For one of your sons

Will reign on the throne forever

Cry, shepherd, cry

Cry, shepherd, cry

Men on the hills watching flocks

One night, so quiet then loud

Their eyes look to heaven above

These shepherds listening

Hear many voices, singing…

CHORUS 2:

Cry, shepherds, cry

Go tell this message

For the people listen to you

Cry, shepherds, cry

For the world must know

That the Savior is born tonight

Cry, shepherds, cry

Cry, shepherds, cry

A Jewish man, set apart

Teacher, Master, Friend, and Lord

His heart looking to Father above

This Shepherd the High King

Heard a voice, comforting…

CHORUS 3:

Cry, Shepherd, cry

Your death will be the message

For all those who will listen and believe

Cry, Shepherd, cry

This pain is temporary

For the salvation of souls many, once and for all

Cry, Shepherd, cry

Cry, Shepherd, cry

A Toposa boy, years later

Hears of that God man, that Savior

His hearts looks to the Lord above

This shepherd, a missionary

Hears a voice, encouraging…

CHORUS 4:

Cry, shepherd, cry

Proclaim this message

To all who will listen to believe

Cry, shepherd, cry

For as you have known

Christ is salvation alone, teach them

Cry, shepherd, cry

Cry, shepherd, cry

Cry, shepherd, cry

Cry out, you shepherd, cry

HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVE!!!
