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?
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
