LYRICS:

The night was clear, the night was cold,
Shepherds in the field turned to behold
An angel in the sky smiling down,
Said don't worry boys I've got news from town.

In Bethlehem resound the joy,
Born in barn a little baby boy.
Prince of Peace, King with a crown,
A boy with a shepherd's heart.

Three men from the highway, a boy with a drum,
Nobody knew just what would become
Of this boy in a cradle with a lamb by his side,
A boy with a shepherd's heart.

Hallelujah baby boy,
Hallelujah baby boy,
Can you hear the shepherd's heart all around the world?
Hallelujah baby boy.

The star above led to the boy king.
King Harrod looked up, I couldn't see a thing.
He was after the child the prophets said would come.
The town was quiet and the wise men played dumb.

Hallelujah baby boy,
Hallelujah baby boy,
Can you hear the shepherd's heart all around the world?
Hallelujah baby boy.

So the baby slept, that's what a baby does.
There'd be hard days ahead, the hardest ever was.
So don't wake little lamb, settle down beside
The boy with the shepherd's heart.

Hallelujah baby boy,
Hallelujah baby boy,
Can you hear the shepherd's heart all around the world?
Hallelujah baby boy.

Hallelujah baby boy,
Hallelujah baby boy,
Can you hear the shepherd's heart all around the world?
Hallelujah baby boy.

Got a couple days off, lights on the tree,
Nice warm house and a family.
Won't you take a minute, give a little thanks
To the boy with a shepherd's heart?
