Let the Shepherd Lead

When I am lost and all alone, It’s then I turn to the Shepherd to guide me home. When my heart gets bitter and full of doubt, I surrender my problems to Jesus, He seems to always work them out. I have been a victim of my own foolish pride, Not trusting in Jesus to be my guide. Many times I have stumbled and many times I have fell, But that’s the good part of this story I tell. For no matter how low in life we manage to sink, It’s Jesus who will always bring you back from the brink. We are like sheep we all go astray, That is why we need our Shepherd to show us the way. Jesus was the one who died for our sins so long ago, Redemption is ours if we ask don’t you know? Without Jesus in our lives we would have no hope, And no chance for salvation or a reason to cope. Imagine the pain He suffered that day, Picture it in your mind how He died such a tragic way. Body racked with pain and longing for the death that seemed so slow, And being able to forgive those who did these things would have been hard for me, don’t you know? As I grow older in life there are things I tend to learn, Like the most valuable possessions you cannot buy you have to earn. Love, respect, and friendship are a treasured gift, To have and to share will give you a blessed lift.
