A good shepherd
Gives his life for the sheep
He protect and care the flock
There are threats coming from thieves
From wolves who try to break into the fold
Attack the sheep and scatter them.
A good shepherd is one who stands up
For his sheep and does not run away
When his life is threaten.

I heard the voice of the good shepherd say;
"I did your sad and weary soul salvage,
lean on me, I did for your freedom pay.
Lean on me, and come to God with courage."
The soft voice of Jesus tenderly speaks,
when in moments of pain, my sadness peaks.
His assuring words give my poor soul rest,
as I lay my wearied head on his breast.
I heard the voice of the good shepherd say;
of the life giving bread he freely gives
to all the redeemed in whose hearts he lives.
I came to him as hungry as I was,
and my spiritual stomach he did sate.
His soft spoken voice always pleads my cause,
his love for me is always up to date;
thus on him only I can hang my fate.
I heard the voice of the good shepherd say;
"I am the only sacrificial lamb,
no one else can duplicate my good role."
I once was lost, but he rescued my soul,
he did protect my fallen soul from harm.
When from his sheepfold I stubbornly strayed,
with no regard for the price he gladly paid,
he lovingly sought me out without delay.

THE GOOD SHEPHERD
There once was a flock that was lost and afraid
It wandered around without direction for days
But the Lord looked down with compassion from above
And sent a good Shepherd to lead them with love
The Shepherd was kind, loving and wise
And He cherished his whole flock, no matter the color or the size
Though the Shepherd was quiet, humble and meek
Every ear listened whenever He would speak
He showed them the way to walk in the light
And He prayed every day for God to give them true sight
He taught them about the blood of the Lamb
And about the Creator, the great I AM
They flourished and they grew through the knowledge they gained
About the Saviour from above who lived without blemish or stain
The flock was so thankful to the Lord up above
For sending a wise leader who was so full of love
He lead them with a strong and gentle good hand
And took the whole flock safely into God's Promise Land

“Truly I am the gate for the sheep.
Any who over the wall would leap
would alarm my flock
bring harm like a fox,
but over the fold good watch I keep.”
“I am the Good Shepherd, not a hired hand,
ready to die, a beast to withstand
for the sheep in my care.
For whatever the scare
I know my flock and they me understand.”
John 10.1-18

THE GOOD SHEPHERD
The Lord is kind.
He is Divine.
He gives us life
and what we know.
Without the Lord
nothing could grow.

TALK TO HIM LIKE A CHILD
There is a good shepherd,
He knows the ned s of his flocks,
He knows the way to greener pastures,
He navigates the still waters,
He protects his sheep more than David.
The shepherd searcheth every heart of his flock,
The flocks; the hearts of men,
He came down to have communion with men,
He is sure of our feelings,
In our anguish he is there looking at us,
When my plates are empty,he whispers into my ear " Son, i fed five thousand men, what about you?
He is our creator, our maker,
Pour out your heart to him,
For He hears all tongues of the earth,
Cry to him when thirsty,
For He is the living water,
Call out to Him when lost,
He is the way,
He is our Father,
Talk to Him like His child

THE GOOD SHEPHERD
Jesus, precious Savior,
You lead Your sheep along
never raising Your voice to them
even when something goes wrong.
For that would scare Your sheep.
You love them with Your song
as they faithfully follow You
everywhere You walk along.
Without You, they would scatter
with wolves so very near;
they would separate and die,
but Your voice gives them no fear.
You are strong and play the harp
and Your sheep drift off asleep.
Each one trusting in His Master,
for His Master never sleeps.

Near Lake Fane the sheep graze in thy green meadow.
At ease, ewes are seen nibbling field blades most fine,
where fierce lion's shape may cast no grave shadow
or shows dire snake hole.
For ye make sure thy sheep are made safe these nights
from great teeth that tear meat and brake bones so bold.
And cold stream to lake's made still by side runoff
to hold so shallow.
This thy oak staff's sheep's certain safeguard gainst foes.
Sling's also alongside the oak stave we see.
Thus sheep sleep secure aye beneath huge shade trees
without fear nearby.
New scene speaks of bucolic peace made by night
for those under his care in closed gate sheepfold.
Then he make his fire frying rice cakes, grease beans,
and feeds male collie.

He is the Good Shepherd,
I am the sheep of his pasture.
All my needs are met by him,
So I follow Him- He is my Master.

Stormy weather thunder roars ?
Something they've never seen before
Afrighted tiny hearts their brand new world....
Leap for joy her baby doe; his occas antlers reindeer
Show hoots time's owl love's gentle lamb: meek as mild Heir's, prancing ram.

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

i'd wandered again staring
into streams of livid pools waving
raptures of rushing currents startled
beyond such graveness however tempted
to explore even more than before i'd missed
your pondering about awaiting my dashing exit
away from the flock that scattered sparingly
my temperament craved so much more
why the gravity along led me by surprise
with curiosity and grace your demeanor
seemed to shield my immature nature
calmly beyond a single sphere a certain
chastisement lingering gently between
the stone pavement a white stick hidden
gestures being heard only throughout
the babbling brooks gnashing against
large pebbles into solid foundations
henceforth creating distance an yet forming
a pulley blending mind body and soul into
thrashing madness mingling timelessly chafed
and bruised chanting i'm back
