The Shepherd of Our Souls

As the shepherds were tending their flocks, as they did every night,
Suddenly the sky was filled, with a glorious light,
Though frightened, the angels told them of our Savior's birth,
And comforted them in revealing, why Jesus came to earth,
So they would know that in their presence, they were in no danger,
But told them where to find the baby, lying in a manger,
As a Heavenly host sang glory to God, and on earth peace to all men,
I wonder if the shepherds knew, this baby came to save all from their sins,
As I read what's called the Christmas story, such a wonderful thing,
It fills my heart with joy and love, and makes me want to sing,
Is this a sign the reason, why shepherds were the first ones told,
Because now we as believers find, Jesus is the shepherd of our souls.
