Tip from an Angel
Parody of "Lips of an Angel" by Hinder
(Psalm 23, Luke 2:8-18, Proverbs 27:23)

Sorry that I'm comin' here so late
I'm tryin' to watch my flock right now
I heard a baby cryin' -- is that Him in the hay'
I'll try to whisper but my lambs bleat so loud
Well, my herd's in the next room
Most times I'm with sheep, what's new'
I guess we never really move alone
It's really good to be here, Lord
Seeing Your face -- it sounds so weird
But I got a tip from an angel
He knew those words would take me here
And I never thought I'd be surprised
But, Lord, You made a trough be Your cradle
In the midst of a stable
There's not a bunch in common between You and I
And yet You shepherd sheep, too
You gotta know your flock or soon they wander out of sight
No, I don't think sheep have a clue
Well, my herd's in the next room
Sometimes I wish sheep were mute
I guess we'd better get a move on
It's really good to be here Lord
Glad that I came -- it sounds so weird
But I got a tip from an angel
He knew those words would take me here
And I never thought I'd see the Christ
But Lord, You came -- it's not some big fable
In the midst of a stable
It's really good to be here, Lord
Glad that I came -- it sounds so weird
But I got a tip from an angel
He knew those words would take me here
And I never thought I'd be surprised
But Lord You made a trough be Your cradle
In the midst of a stable
And I never thought I'd see, You, Christ
But Lord, You came -- it's not some big fable
In the midst of a stable
Sorry that I'm comin' here so late

Luke 2:10
But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.
