Lyrics

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 an angel

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 born

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?

Gracious good shepherd

Do you really know who I am?

Gracious good shepherd

Will you answer when I call your name?

Gracious good shepherd

These are different times, I'm sure you see

Gracious good shepherd

We need, you now
