Ordinary Time - Shepherd Song lyrics

We pressed our faces to the gra** Eyes to earth, but found no shade. Such blinding light was not the sun Seized with fear but not to run A fear that made our fears afraid. "Do not, do not be afraid Today is born the Lord your Savior Don't look in a prince's nursery But in the barn where cattle feed Peace on whom HE favors." We left our flocks to tend themselves And ran all night how far, how fast! He called us past hotels and bars Shepherds, wise men, even stars Back to...himself...again...at last. Is this the long expected one, The one in whom we must believe? Can this be Israel's future King, The one that made the angels sing? Will he ever be received?
