They say...in a stable far away, all in adoration pray And praise the Child on Christmas Day. Song: Flock Watchers Here in this field... we don t get much sleep; We spend our evenings... talking to sheep. If I m not mistaken... I think I see God s angels flying...up above me. We are flock watchers, just flock watchers This may seem crazy, this may seem odd. But we re flock watchers, just flock watchers, Witness the birth of the Son of God. We can t decide if... we should run or pray; It s not how we thought... we d end up our day. 7
