Don Francisco - Shepherd's Song lyrics

It was frosty and clear as we huddled that night 'round the fire We poked at the embers, watched as the sparks flew up higher Then the fire seemed to dim as the air all around filled with light We all stared in fear at the angel who dazzled our sight He said, "Don't be afraid; I have not come to destroy I've come with good news to announce indescribable joy The Messiah is born: the saviour of all on the earth And you are the ones God has chosen to witness his birth Now, go to the city of David, just inside the wall There's an inn, and behind in the barn by the animal stalls There's a baby wrapped up in a feedpen they've used for his bed When you find him, you'll know of the truth in all that I've said." Then the sky just exploded with thousands of angels and light And the sight and the sound of their music set fire to the night Praise, honour, and glory to God in the highest And mercy and peace and blessing to all of mankind Praise, honour, and glory to God in the highest And mercy and peace and blessing to all of mankind So we went and we found the new baby as the angel had said With Mary and Joseph from Nazareth there by his bed Such peace and a sense of a presence gave warmth to the air We fell to our knees in wonder to worship him there Praise, honour, and glory to God in the highest And mercy and peace and blessing to all of mankind Praise, honour, and glory to God in the highest And mercy and peace and blessing to all of mankind Praise, honour, and glory to God in the highest And mercy and peace and blessing to all of mankind Praise, honour, and glory to God in the highest And mercy and peace and blessing Mercy and peace and blessing Mercy and peace and blessing to all of mankind
