lyrics

Don't be afraid, Zechariah, to hold onto hope
I know you're full of doubt right now and faded dreams
But the prophet said the Child to come will make old things new
He's the one true hope, the Everliving Word
Zechariah, don't be afraid to carry on

Don't be afraid, faithful Joseph, to stand up strong
I know you feel betrayed right now and you fear the shame
But the prophet said the Child to come will be sold out and scorned
And he'll show forgiveness in the face of hate
Faithful Joseph, don't be afraid, Open your heart

Don't be afraid, good Mary, to walk this road
I know you don't have the strength and you don't know how
But the angel said the Child to come will work wonders with God's own hand
Nothing is impossible, but you must believe
Have courage Mary, don't be afraid, trust in me

Don't be afraid, weary shepherds, to leave where you are
I know you live lonely with the sun and under the stars
But the angels sang of glory and a future and of peace
Told you where it is and how to know
Lonely shepherds, don't be afraid, Come to me
