Carolyn Arends Album: Christmas: An Irrational Season Track: Do Not Be Afraid
Do Not Be Afraid Lyrics
By Carolyn Arends Half a woman, half a child Mary lay there sleeping Never dreaming in a little while She would hear the angel's greeting Opened her eyes to see That Gabriel had come Opened her heart to hear "You are the chosen one And do not be afraid Do not be afraid Love has found its way to you So do not be afraid"
Shepherds watching their flocks by night Guarding against danger When suddenly there was a blinding light And then things got even stranger Angels in the sky Far as the eye could see Singing "Christ is born Oh -- and one more thing... Do not be afraid Do not be afraid Love has found its way to you So do not be afraid"
Half believing, half afraid We celebrate the story But our lives seem about a world away From angels and their glory Open our eyes to see What Mary saw somehow Open our hearts to hear Those angels even now They're singing "Do not be afraid Do not be afraid Love has found its way to you So do not be afraid"
