Ovine Christmas Perspective

Something never mentioned
About that special night,
While the shepherds were rejoicing
And the angels shone so bright.
As the music filled the heavens
The herald angels had their say
Announcing the Messiah's birth,
And the manger where He lay...
Out on those hills of Bethlehem
The flocks were led to graze,
And hearing of the Savior's birth
They too were so amazed.
The long awaited Promise,
The precious Lamb of God...
The permanent, perfect sacrifice
Now dwelt on earthly sod.
No longer sheep for slaughter
and sacrifice for sin,
They too released from bondage
Because of the grace of Him.
I believe there was a celebration
Out there upon the hills.
The lambs all prancing merrily
And hence they ever will.
