Lambs' Lullaby
© 2003 Matt Henry
A year ago, we were born
Here in this stable,
Tonight it looks like your turn.
We've been here a whole year,
And so we will tell you
All the things we have learned.
First of all, don't be afraid,
Your shepherd will show you the way.
In your life, be kind to all,
In thanks for the gift of each day.
A year ago, we were born
Here in this stable,
Tonight it looks like your turn.
We've been here a whole year,
And so we will tell you
All the things we have learned.
Play and dance, laugh with your friends,
Help those who seem to be hurt.
Share your food, and share your warmth too,
For we all share this same patch of dirt.
A year ago, we were born
Here in this stable,
You've chosen this stable, too.
We'll grow up together now,
And then, you will see,
We'll make a good shepherd of you.
