Shepherd’s Song Josh Garrels

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
And magnify the Lord

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
