"The Nativity Song" Jon Shepherd

ALL: In a quiet little town called Nazareth, two thousand years ago

Mary lived a quiet life with Joseph, her betrothed.

MARY: “The Angel Gabriel brought me a message, to say I was the chosen one”

GABRIEL: “You will soon have a baby called Jesus, and he will be God’s son!”

CHORUS (ALL)

Mary, Mary, don’t be scared

Be brave and you will find

Everything will be ok

And your son will save mankind!

JOSEPH: “We travelled far to Bethlehem, my hometown, far away”

JOSEPH & MARY: “Many weary miles we travelled just to hear innkeepers say:”

INNKEEPER: “We have no rooms available, just a stable so forlorn”

ALL: So in a lowly cattle shed, Lord Jesus Christ was born!

CHORUS

ALL: A multitude of Angels from the heavens then came down

ANGELS: “We spread good news to the Shepherds, in the fields above the town.

SHEPHERDS: “We heard the Angels singing so we cowered on the ground”

ANGELS: “Fear not! Now go to Bethlehem where your saviour will be found!”

CHORUS

ALL: In the sky above the stable bare, a brand new star shone bright

To guide the wise men travelling, for many days and nights.

WISEMEN: “The journey has been long and hard but precious gifts we bring…

When we arrive we’ll kneel and worship, before our new born King!”
