Nan MacMillan - Shepherd's Song lyrics

This begins with a breath From the waters you were blessed Pushing through the pain and blood Into the arms of love And your mother's face above Before you came she was afraid In the night she cried and prayed Oh God am I strong enough To be the arms of love To be the mother of this son O Beautiful one My child my son We rejoice From generation To generation We rejoice All, like sheep, have gone astray But you will call them back one day By the marks of pain and blood Back to the arms of love The good Father's face above
