Luke 2:8-10 Lyrics

[Intro]
Luke Chapter 2 Verses 8-10
And there were in the same country shepherds abidin' in the field
Keepin' watch over their flock by night
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them
And the glory of the Lord shone 'round about them
And they were so afraid, and the angel said unto them
"Fear not, for behold I bring tidings of great joy which shall be unto all"

[Verse 1]
Is it a bird, is it a plane
Is it perhaps I'm going insane
From all night abidin' the field?
Look at the thing up on the ridgе
W-w-what d'ya reckon it is?
It's movin', I think it's on wheels

[Verse 2]
Is it a flame hooked to a cart?
Comе to a 'whoa' there in the dark
Why in the world would you move such a thing?
Lo, enough, hark, I could've sworn
I heard a shout, what's going on?
It's closer, it's coming our way

[Chorus]
Daniel, get up, gather the sheep
Tell them there's no time to sleep
My God, it's the end of the world
[Verse 3]
I'm so afraid, but I was right
It was a shout come from the light
It is a woman on fire with two wings
And though she burns, it's seems to me
She's just as calm as she can be
Tryin' to get us to hear what she sings

[Chorus]
Daniel, get up, gather the sheep
Tell them there's no time to sleep
My God, it's the end of the world
Daniel, get up, gather the sheep
Tell them there's no time to sleep
My God, it's the end of the world

[Outro]
My God, it's the end of the world
My God, it's the end of the world
