INTRO: (Spoken)
The incarnation is God’s grace made evident and obvious:
people matter; life is sacred; men, women, and children
are worth the greatest sacrifice, the supreme effort,
the ultimate gift.


VERSE:
C                         F
 So what becomes of those  small unwanted souls
C                                           F
 Who spend their lives breaking their backs?

C                       F
 Those who dig the gold  for the rich and powerful
C                                      F
 Who place their feet upon their necks?


CHORUS:
Am                        F
  The Shepherd is the Lamb
                 Am
Do you understand
                     F
That God became a man?
                        C
The Shepherd is the Lamb


VERSE:
C
 Where can the junkies go
F
 When high has laid them low?
C                         F
 Are they truly on their own?

C
 It seems like we've lost our way
F
 Like sheep we have gone astray
C                        F
 Can anybody lead us home?


CHORUS:
Am                        F
  The Shepherd is the Lamb
                 Am
Do you understand
                     F
That God became a man?
                        Am
The Shepherd is the Lamb

                        F
The Shepherd is the Lamb
                 Am
Do you understand
                     F
That God became a man?
                        C
The Shepherd is the Lamb


BDA K: (Spoken)
F             C
    It is the amazing manifestation
           F
Of His unshakeable love
               G                 Am
For the unloved, and the unlovely,
                         F
The weak, and the amazed, the unworthy,
                              G                Am
And the unwaranted, the rebels, and the sinners
        F
You and me.


VERSE:
C
 And who is the champion?
F
 The friend of the suffering?
C
 Of those who were never born?
F
 The King with the crown of thorns

C                           F
 And I'll consecrate a verse
                         C
To the kingdom in reverse
                        F
Where the least are most
                              Am
And the last will be the first


CHORUS:
                        F
The Shepherd is the Lamb
                 Am
Do you understand
                     F
That God became a man?
                        Am
The Shepherd is the Lamb

                        F
The Shepherd is the Lamb
                 Am
Do you understand
                      F
That God became a man?
                        C
The Shepherd is the Lamb
