Gracious Good Shepherd

Gracious good shepherd

Gracious Good Shepherd
do you really know who I am?
Gracious Good Shepherd
will you answer when I call your name?
Gracious Good Shepherd
you can hear confusion crying out
Gracious Good Shepherd
what little faith I have I am ashamed

I visualize a manger
all freezing and bitter cold
I cannot believe the love there
what heavenly sacrifice

Gracious Good Shepherd
if you hear me now, I love you so
Gracious Good Shepherd
why for me?
Gracious Good Shepherd
you say you love the lost one
Gracious Good Shepherd
I believe that one is me

Some tell me the virgin birth is
a beautiful ancient tale
But you tell me God's constellation
led all to the living well

Gracious Good Shepherd
if you hear me now, I love you so
Gracious Good Shepherd
why, why for me?
