lowly shepherds

lowly shepherds


lowly shepherds

in the fields abiding

the first to hear the good news

the coming of our Savior.


lowly shepherds

not the proud, the mighty

told of our Savior's birth

the multitude in heaven.

We don't deserve the gift of Christmas

We don't deserve the gift of #Christmas


God's unmerited favor;

we all have sinned

following Adam.


We all are broken

following the flesh;

God loved us anyway

and sent us a Savior.


Born of the flesh

the babe in the manger;

God came to redeem us

climbing our cross.

come to crush our sin, our death - v2

come to crush our sin, our death - v2


Christ came to save us

humble, as a servant,

a lowly child, vulnerable

come to crush our sin, our death

to give us new life.


Christ came to save us

come to fulfill the promise

come to crush the serpent

to defeat sin and death

to reconcile God’s people.


Christ came to save us

come to heal the breach

the sins of Adam

come to crush our sin, our death,

to bring us back to God.
