The World’s Smallest Shepherd Lyrics
The World’s Smallest Shepherd is a song written by Angie Killian. It will need approval before being taught to your Primary children. You can purchase the sheet music here.
Verse 1:
The world’s smallest shepherd, they came to behold,
the world’s smallest shepherd with the biggest of folds.
And the world’s smallest shepherd would know each by name.
He would rescue His lost sheep and love each the same.
Chorus:
Did the shepherds know that the baby, asleep,
Was the world’s smallest shepherd, and they were His sheep?
Did the shepherds know that the baby, asleep,
Was the world’s smallest shepherd, and they were His sheep?
Verse 2:
The world’s smallest shepherd, His lambs He would lead.
In greenest of pastures, His flock He would feed.
And the world’s smallest shepherd, He someday would give
His own life as ransom so His lambs could live.
