Howdy folks and welcome to
a Cowboy Christmas.
![Page 4: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
This is a story about love between a
fellow and a gal. It's a story about
some sheep herders and a bunch of
angels.
![Page 5: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
But most importantly it's
about a baby boy.
A baby by the name of Jesus.
![Page 6: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Now you don't have to be too bright to figure out that the Christmas we got
today ain’t like the first one.
![Page 7: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
And to tell you the truth, the way we
celebrate it probably ain’t the way God
intended it.
![Page 8: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
We go through such a fuss and get in
such a hurry.
![Page 9: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
By the time Christmas day gets here, we're more nervous than a
cooped up coon dog on a full moon
Friday.
![Page 10: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Well, some of us can remember when
things were a little more simple.
![Page 11: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
We remember when life wasn't so fast
paced, and we longed for the Christmas of yesteryear.
![Page 12: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Can anyone tell me where did Christmas go?
It’s not the same one I used to
know.
![Page 13: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The lights, the glitter – it’s all so
tragic.
We’ve lost the meaning; we’ve lost the magic…
![Page 14: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Take me back to the Christmas of
yesteryear…yesteryear
![Page 15: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Do you remember the simple pleasures?
The joy and the laughter, the
timeless treasures?
![Page 16: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
But now it’s TV specials and advertising.
Office parties and the pressure’s
rising…
![Page 17: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Take me back to the Christmas of
yesteryear…..yesteryear
![Page 18: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
I remember the carols we used to
sing
The peace that the season would
always bring
![Page 19: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
But now I almost dread to see it
coming
And in my mind I know I’m running…
![Page 20: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Back to the Christmas of yesteryear….yesteryear
![Page 21: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Interlude
![Page 22: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Coming together around the
Christmas tree
Hearing the story of the first
Christmas Eve
![Page 23: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
I’d close my eyes and away I’d
Travel
As my Daddy opened up his
bible
![Page 24: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
I could almost hear the angels sing…hear them
sing
![Page 25: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Take me back to the Christmas of
yesteryear.Take me back to the Christmas of
yesteryear…yesteryear
![Page 26: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Folks we would like ya'll to think back to the first Christmas, a
Christmas about 2,000 yesteryear or
so ago.
![Page 27: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The story of the birth of Jesus is a love story. A love
story right out of the mind and heart of
God,
![Page 28: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
and playing out in the lives of a feller named Joe and his bride to be, a cute
little filly by the name of Mary.
![Page 29: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Now Joe was always the nervous, bashful
type, especially around the ladies.
![Page 30: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Well he’d just as soon wrestle a
rattlesnake barehanded as he would to talk to
anything wearing a skirt.
![Page 31: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
When he did try to express himself, his thumb would swell
up like he was stung by a hornet
![Page 32: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
and he would break out in such a sweat
that you’d think he’d just come in out of a
rainstorm.
![Page 33: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
So Joe concentrated mainly on his work.
![Page 34: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Oh he could make a saw and a hammer sing. He was known for miles around as the carpenter who could change wood
into wonder.
![Page 35: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
He built all kinds of things. Everything from rocking chairs
to ranch houses, from wooden benches to windmills.
![Page 36: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Yes sir, that man loved his work; he
loved his work more than anything. That
is to say until he met Mary.
![Page 37: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
She had skin creamier than a pan
filled with buttermilk, and a
smile that sparkled like a sunbeam.
![Page 38: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
He first laid his eyes on her at a barn
raising, where Mary and her mom were fixing a hardy meal
of Bar B Q and baked beans for all the hard workers.
![Page 39: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
After dinner, she sort of scurried up to him, fetching him a slab of pecan pie
that was big enough for three men.
![Page 40: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Well folks, it was a little too sweet for
Joe's usual like of it, but he didn’t let on
to Mary. He polished off every bite and
just kept smiling at her.
![Page 41: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
For the rest of that afternoon, Mary just fluttered around like a restless butterfly looking for a place
to lite.
![Page 42: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
And Joe couldn't keep his mind on his
work 'cause he couldn't keep his eyes off of Mary.
![Page 43: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Oh my, he was hooked. Folks, he was hooked like a catfish in a shaller
creek.
![Page 44: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Well a few weeks later old Joe decided to mosey on over to Mary's folks to talk to them about him
and Mary gettin hitched.
![Page 45: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Yes sir he wanted to get hitched to that
girl more than anything.
![Page 46: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Well somehow Joe managed to get the
words out. Yeah, you’re right, they
gave their blessings without a problem.
![Page 47: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Joe was a real good man. Now they was
all real happy.
![Page 48: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
They was hugging and laughing and of course, the women was a crying, just like women do at such occasions.
![Page 49: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Oh folks, I tell ya, it was a site to see.
Mary and her mom went off to begin to plan a big wedding.
![Page 50: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Joe began to build Mary a house and
everything began to slip like a churn full
of butter.
![Page 51: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Until the one night in the middle of
March.
Mary had her an unexpected visitor.
![Page 52: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
But this wasn't no ordinary visitor
folks, this here was a messenger from
God himself. Yes sir, Mary was about to
be visited by an angel.
![Page 53: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Angel: Howdy gal the Lord is with
you!
![Page 54: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Now folks she was shocked by this. She was as scared as a newborn calf that
was just separated from his mama.
![Page 55: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
But just before she called her father to bring the shotgun, that angel spoke
again.
![Page 56: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Angel: Don't be a feared honey.
God has picked you to do a
special chore.
![Page 57: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
You are going to give birth to a special boy,
![Page 58: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
a boy who will rule this range
and all the other ranges with a love like ain’t nobody ever seen before.
![Page 59: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Mary: Well how can this be when I
ain’t ever let a man even touch
me.
![Page 60: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Angel: Honey, nothings too hard for God. Why look
at Elizabeth.
![Page 61: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
She is going to have a baby after all these years. So
don't you fret. The Holy Spirit will take care of
everything.
![Page 62: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Well Mary was still in shock for sure, but she knew that God or Yahweh would take good care of
her.
![Page 63: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Mary: I am the Lord's servant. If in that’s what you want Lord, that all
right with me.
![Page 64: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Well folks, make no mistakes about it,
that girl was young. She was a little
innocent and maybe a little bit simple but
she had gift.
![Page 65: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Well needless to say she was plum full of excitement the next day when she went
to break the wonderful news to
Joe.
![Page 66: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Of course Joe was a little bit surprised.
![Page 67: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Mary: I AM GOING TO HAVE A BABY!
![Page 68: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Joe: You're WHAT?
![Page 69: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
Oh folks, it didn't matter how Mary tried to explain
herself.
![Page 70: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
Joe just looked at her like she had
been grazing on loco wheat.
![Page 71: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
Folks he was hurt deep, real deep. He
keep shaking his head back and forth like an old bull that had just got bested by a young one.
![Page 72: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
He was way confused and
scared. What would everybody else
think?
What was he to do?
![Page 73: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Mary didn’t know what to think now.
Does he even love me anymore?
![Page 74: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
(Mary)Yahweh,
He thinks I’m crazy Who can blame him?It sounds crazy to
me too
![Page 75: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
(Mary)I thought that we had a love that
could last through anything

(Mary)But tell me,
What’s a girl like me to do?
Yahweh?

(Joseph)I’ve Loved her for
so long now.
We’ve made so many plans.

(Joseph)We’d always be
together.
I just don’t understand.
![Page 79: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
(Joseph)I thought that we had a love that
could last through anything
![Page 80: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
(Joseph)But tell me,
What’s a man like me to do?
Yahweh?
![Page 81: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
(Mary) Yahweh
(Joseph) Will this hurt last her
forever?
![Page 82: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
(Mary) My heart is heavy
(Joseph) What will her friends and
parents say?
![Page 83: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
(Mary) It feels like..
(Joseph) I’ll try to keep this quiet.
![Page 84: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
(Mary) I’m losing the best part of
me.
(Joseph) I could send her far away.
![Page 85: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
(Mary and Joseph)I never thought I’d have to face such loneliness,
![Page 86: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
(Mary and Joseph)And the pain of losing the one I
love…… (Mary)Yahweh…
(Joe) Yahweh
![Page 87: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
(Mary and Joseph)Here I am, more
than a little confused.
I take my stand with you.
![Page 88: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
(Mary and Joseph)You’ve always
been my strength and my rock of
salvation,
![Page 89: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
(Mary) Your promise is at
hand.
(Joseph) I just don’t
understand.
![Page 90: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
(Mary) Yahweh….
![Page 91: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
(Mary)
Yahweh…
(Joseph)
Perhaps I’ll find another.
![Page 92: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)
(Mary) I feel so lonely,
(Joseph)Though I can’t imagine where.
![Page 93: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/93.jpg)
(Mary)But, I know that
(Joseph)This emptiness
inside me
![Page 94: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)
(Mary)You won’t
abandon me
(Joseph)Is almost more than I can bare.
![Page 95: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
(Mary and Joseph)As you made a
road in the wilderness
![Page 96: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)
(Mary)I know that you will make a way
for me…. Yahweh
![Page 97: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)
Yahweh…. Yahweh…
I’ll trust you, Yahweh….Yahweh……
![Page 98: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/98.jpg)
Well folks, the next morning, after
tossing and turning all night long,
![Page 99: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/99.jpg)
Joe decided that he was going to take
Mary some place or at least send her
some place where she could get some
help.
![Page 100: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/100.jpg)
He didn't want her to face the shame of
having a baby without a husband,
![Page 101: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/101.jpg)
and he didn't want to hear that the
woman he loved, was touched in the
head.
We all know how small towns can
talk.
![Page 102: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/102.jpg)
So he decided to pack her up and
send her off to the hill country to be with her cousin
Elizabeth.
![Page 103: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/103.jpg)
As he watched the stage pull out of town he felt a lump the size of a silver dollar swell up in his throat. Oh folks he was heart
broken.
![Page 104: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/104.jpg)
He trudged home and he picked at his
supper till it got cold. How he
dreaded spending another night
tossing and turning.
![Page 105: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/105.jpg)
But before he knew it, he was fast
asleep. And then when he got to the deepest part of that
sleep,
![Page 106: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/106.jpg)
like a baby with a full belly, something
incredible happened.
![Page 107: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/107.jpg)
Something that would forever
change the lives of Joe and Mary, not to mention the lives of
you and me.
![Page 108: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/108.jpg)
I was sleeping real heavy when
a light shot through the room.
![Page 109: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/109.jpg)
I hid under the covers.
Man, I thought that I was doomed.
![Page 110: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/110.jpg)
Was it something that I’d eaten?
Was I seein’ me a ghost?
![Page 111: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/111.jpg)
Then the light spoke out, I stood up in the midst of a heavenly host.
![Page 112: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/112.jpg)
He said Joe (Joe)Joe (Joe)
![Page 113: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/113.jpg)
Sit down son you’d better take
this slow!
![Page 114: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/114.jpg)
I know that it sounds crazy
I know that it sounds odd
![Page 115: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/115.jpg)
But you my friend’ve been chosen to raise the son of God
![Page 116: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/116.jpg)
I stared in disbelief
my jaw scraped on the floor
![Page 117: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/117.jpg)
I covered up my ears
I didn’t want to hear no more
![Page 118: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/118.jpg)
But the angel said Don’t be afraid,
take Mary as your wife
![Page 119: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/119.jpg)
For the child that she is carrying is the way the truth
the life
![Page 120: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/120.jpg)
He said Joe (Joe)
Joe (Joe)
![Page 121: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/121.jpg)
Sit down son you’d better take
this slow!
![Page 122: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/122.jpg)
I know that it sounds crazy
I know that it sounds odd
![Page 123: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/123.jpg)
But you my friend’ve been chosen to raise the son of God
![Page 124: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/124.jpg)
I shouted Hallelujah, ‘cause I was so
relieved.
![Page 125: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/125.jpg)
I’d doubted Mary’s story
but now I could believe
![Page 126: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/126.jpg)
And just before he left me
the angel spoke again
![Page 127: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/127.jpg)
You call this boy child Jesus
‘cause he’ll save folks from their
sin
![Page 128: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/128.jpg)
He said Joe (Joe)Joe (Joe)
![Page 129: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/129.jpg)
Sit down son you’d better take
this slow!
![Page 130: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/130.jpg)
I know that it sounds crazy
I know that it sounds odd
![Page 131: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/131.jpg)
But you my friend’ve been chosen to raise the son of God
![Page 132: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/132.jpg)
When I awakened from this
strange and blessed dream
![Page 133: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/133.jpg)
I had a holy fire burning in
me, so it seemed
![Page 134: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/134.jpg)
And with God’s reassurance I
knew that I could do
every single thing that His angel
told me to
![Page 135: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/135.jpg)
I said I’ll go (go)I’ll go (go)
![Page 136: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/136.jpg)
I take her as my wife Lord I will not tell you no
![Page 137: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/137.jpg)
I don’t know why you’ve chosen us for this big job
![Page 138: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/138.jpg)
but we will do our very best now to raise the son of
God
![Page 139: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/139.jpg)
we will do our very best now to
raise….
the son of God
![Page 140: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/140.jpg)
Well folks, the next morning bright and early, as soon he
could see, Joe let out for the hill country
to fetch Mary back.
![Page 141: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/141.jpg)
He brought her home to that house that he built, and they got hitched.
![Page 142: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/142.jpg)
The two of them settled down and the weeks passed.
Everything just finally seemed like it
was settling down for this couple.
![Page 143: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/143.jpg)
Well, just to show that some things
never change, the government came
up with yet another way to collect more cotton picking taxes.
![Page 144: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/144.jpg)
It seemed like the government of the territory decided that nobody was
paying their taxes proper like.
![Page 145: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/145.jpg)
The only way they could make sure
they were getting all the money they
could get, was to make everybody go
back to their hometown and
register.
![Page 146: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/146.jpg)
Now I know that doesn't make much
sense to you and me, but folks we are
talking about the government.
![Page 147: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/147.jpg)
Joe didn't want to go back to his
hometown with Mary being so close to having her baby, and Mary didn't want Joe making
that trip by himself.
![Page 148: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/148.jpg)
So the two of them decided they would try to wait it out and see if she wouldn't
have that baby before the registration deadline.
![Page 149: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/149.jpg)
But they were running out of time.
They decided to start their journey. Joe had to go next
door to his neighbor and borrow a
donkey.
![Page 150: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/150.jpg)
And then the two of them set out for
Bethlehem. Now it was about
time for that baby to make it’s
appearance into the world.
![Page 151: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/151.jpg)
And there weren't nothing that they could do about it.

Walk softly, little donkey
We’ve got such a long way to go.

Well folks when they got to Bethlehem
they found out that the place was noisier than a county fair.
![Page 167: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/167.jpg)
But because they waited so long to
make their journey, there weren't any
beds in Bethlehem.
![Page 168: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/168.jpg)
Folks was a sleeping everywhere. In doorways, on
stairwells, some even on tops of
tables.
![Page 169: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/169.jpg)
Anywhere they could find them a
place to stretch out.
![Page 170: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/170.jpg)
Now there was one man who told Joe that there was a new owner at the hotel in town and
that he might have a room left.
![Page 171: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/171.jpg)
So Joe and Mary made their way
down that crowded, dusty, dirty street to
the hotel where they
met the new owner.
![Page 172: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/172.jpg)
He was a real nice fella, but he was not
much help. He didn’t have a room for them to
stay in.
![Page 173: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/173.jpg)
I’ve been keeping this inn down in Bethlehem since
BC 26

We ran out of towels three
hours ago, and we don’t have any
more room.

But for now here’s a couple
expecting a child and they’re
looking for a place to stay

So they’ll have to settle for the
stable out back
And a bed that’s make out of hay
![Page 194: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/194.jpg)

I’ve got the census……….the
census takin’ blues
![Page 199: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/199.jpg)
So Mary and Joe had to bed down in a
barn. Well Joe did his best to make things
comfortable for Mary.
![Page 200: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/200.jpg)
He broke open a fresh bale of hay
and spread it out for her to lay down on.
![Page 201: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/201.jpg)
And oh how he hoped and prayed that this would not be the night that baby would come into this world.
![Page 202: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/202.jpg)
It would just be awful to bring the
baby into this world in such surroundings
but sure enough, Jesus decided to be born that very night.
![Page 203: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/203.jpg)
But you know what, Joe didn't worry
about a thing. Mary did fine just fine and
after a few hours there He was.
![Page 204: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/204.jpg)
The Savior of the world, just like God
had promised.
![Page 205: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/205.jpg)
Oh he didn't look much like a Savior to the innkeepers
wife. She had been a part of many births
and she couldn't see anything special about this baby.
![Page 206: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/206.jpg)
Except maybe where the baby was
born. It's not everyday where a baby is born in a stable you know.
![Page 207: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/207.jpg)
But Mary and Joe did and after a spell, Joe took that little fella
and wrapped him up in a blanket.
![Page 208: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/208.jpg)
A lot of ya'll know how proud a new
papa can be. Oh he wanted to run out in the street shouting
Hallelujah to everybody that he saw, but he didn't.
![Page 209: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/209.jpg)
Now Joe wasn't the only proud papa that
night. There was another one that
was just as proud.
![Page 210: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/210.jpg)
After all, Jesus was God’s son. He
wanted to boast and brag on Jesus too.
![Page 211: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/211.jpg)
Just out of town about a mile or two, on a hillside, there
were dying embers of a camp fire,
![Page 212: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/212.jpg)
where a group a sheep herders were getting ready to bed down for the night.
![Page 213: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/213.jpg)
Now sheep herders weren't much cared for on ranch land. Not in those days
anyway.
![Page 214: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/214.jpg)
But that is where God did His
bragging. He told those sheep herders about His wonderful
son.
![Page 215: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/215.jpg)
So some people would think it was kind of strange that God
would choose to reveal the birth of His son to
a group of sheep herders before He did
anybody else.
![Page 216: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/216.jpg)
But then again most folks would find it
kind of strange that God would let His
one and only son be born in a stable, too.
![Page 217: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/217.jpg)

Late one night on the edge of town
A group of men sat huddled round
![Page 219: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/219.jpg)
The fire and the conversation long
since gone
![Page 220: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/220.jpg)
One boy drifted off to sleep
Took one more glance down
toward the sheep
![Page 221: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/221.jpg)
Just a few more hours till the
dawn
![Page 222: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/222.jpg)
But all at once a light cut through
the darkness The shepherds shook in wonder
and in fear
![Page 223: Cowboy Christmas. Sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain"](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94adf89d/html5/thumbnails/223.jpg)
But little did they know their fear would soon be changed to joy

With the glorious words they soon would hear……
from the
