Baby for a King (Drew Nelson)

Shepherds watch their sheep,
little souls they swore to keep
There’s not much thanks, not much sleep
when shepherds watch their sheep

Outside Bethlehem,
shepherds could not remember when
stars were ever brighter than
outside Bethlehem

God above, sent His love
on Christmas, Christmas day
and God above, sent His love
on Christmas, Christmas day

Wisemen chase the stars,
traveled very, very far
frankincense, myrrh and golden bars
Wisemen chase the stars

A baby for a king,
a baby for a king,
Not in strength, but meekness brings
a baby for a king

God above, sent His love
on Christmas, Christmas day
God above, sent His love
on Christmas, Christmas day

Way up in the sky,
I heard an angel cry,
Peace on Earth,
the sweetest lullaby
Way up in the sky

God above, sent His love
on Christmas, Christmas day
God above, sent His love
on Christmas, Christmas day

on Christmas, Christmas day
on Christmas, Christmas day
