A Shepherd, Too

On a holy night in Bethelehem,
Certain shepherds left their fields
To behold a tiny child,
Which an angel had revealed.
I have thought about those shepherds,
And I wonder if they knew
That the child that they had come to see
Would be a shepherd, too.

Just as they cared for their lambs,
He would gently lead his own.
And carry them within His arms,
And would bring them safely home.
He would be the greatest shepherd.
Oh, I wonder if they knew
That the child that they had come to see
Would be a shepherd, too.

Traveling from a distant country,
Wise men came with gifts of gold
To behold a tiny child,
Which the prophets had foretold.
I have thought about those wise men,
And I wonder if they knew
That the child that they had come to see
Would be a wise man, too.

Just as they offered wisdom,
He would humbly share His own.
And give the world the teachings
That would lead them safely home.
He would be the greatest wise man.
Oh, I wonder if they knew
That the child that they had come to see
Would be a wise man, too.

As the bearer of salvation,
He would be the King of Kings.
The long foretold Messiah,
Come with healing in His wings.
Yes, a wise man and a shepherd,
Come to die for me and you.
Do we understand the baby came
To be the Savior, too.
