Lyrics
1.Where shepherds lately knelt
and kept the angel's word,
I come in half-belief, a pilgrim strangely stirred;
But there is room and welcome there for me,
But there is room and welcome there for me.
2.In that unlikely place I find him as they said:
Sweet newborn Babe, how frail!
And in a manger bed,
A still small voice to cry one day for me,
A still small voice to cry one day for me.
3.How should I not have known
Isaiah would be there? His prophecies fulfilled,
With pounding heart I stare:
A child, a son, the Prince of Peace for me,
A child, a son, the Prince of Peace for me.
4. Can I, will I forget how Love was born, and burned
It's way into my heart unasked, unforced, unearned,
To die, to live, and not alone for me,
To die, to live, and not alone for me.
