Good Shepherd

Dear Lord 
You are 
my shepherd 
Holding out 
one's soul 
Within open hands 
Offering 
Unto Heaven 

To you 
who sits 
On the throne 
amongst angels 
One guiding light 
For the sins 
of man 
who treated 
You in cruelty 

I am humbled 
In your name 
most gracious 
Upon the temptations 
of one world 
Bound by 
sins of man 

In times 
of need 
I pray 
to your light 
In battling Hell 
You my Lord 
A good shepherd
