Ordinary Time - Shepherd Song

We pressed our faces to the grass
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
