John 10 - A Hurting Sheep
“I am the Good Shepherd:
the
Good Shepherd gives His life for the sheep.”
(John
10:11, NKJV)
This quiet morning, Lord, I come,
To You my Shepherd kind,
And pray that one I know and love
Will in You solace find.
She is a hurting sheep, dear Lord,
Who needs Your healing touch.
The hireling has, true to Your Word,
Neglected her so much.
Bind her wounds, and give her hope
That life can better be.
She’s holding on to her last rope;
Let her Your smile see.
This sheep I know has loved You long
And listened for Your voice;
So sing to her compassion’s song -
Her burdened heart will then rejoice.
Protect her from the foes You list:
Wolf, hireling, and thief.
From one who does in wrong persist,
I beg You, bring to her relief.
It is You Who has said
That never even a sparrow falls,
Without Your seeing where it’s laid.
By Your strong arm deliver her;
Hold her close today.
Let none prevail the truth to blur,
Your will be done, I pray.
