Comment:	I found the lyrics on http://www.beforexmas.com/ashepherdsprayer.htm Or here they are :) A Shepherd's Prayer Posted to christnet.christianlife by TheLateGreat_TBC on 2004-02-12. Twas the night before Christmas, And my only desire Was peace among kids, and to rest by the fire. I had just settled down in my favorite chair; When I heard a small voice, and a cry of despair. As I stared at the hearth I saw a strange sight! Our nativity scene, in the flickering light Seemed almost alive! And how could this be! One lonely shepherd was calling to me. * Move me closer, move me closer Move me closer to the Child. Let me see Him, let me hold His hand. Move me closer to the Child. * As you can well imagine, I was a bit surprised. So with a shake of the head and a rub of the eyes I took another look, and what did I see, Without a doubt he was looking at me. It seems in the hustle and bustle of things In the wrapping of gifts, and the building of swings, In assembling his scene, I'd been a bit hurried, And understandably so, He was a little bit worried. * Move me closer, move me closer Move me closer to the Child. Let me see Him, let me hold His hand. Move me closer to the Child. * You see, candy canes and holly trim Didn't mean a thing to him. If it kept him from his post Beside the child he loved the most. So as strange as it must seem, Whether it was, or wasn't, a dream. I placed him back where he belonged As he sang again his simple song. And now when we at Christmas share, We sing his song: A Shepherd's Prayer. *** Move me closer, move me closer Move me closer to the Child. Let me see Him, let me hold His hand. Move me closer to the Child. Move me closer to the Child.
