The Good Shepherd

 

“I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own.” John 10:14

 

The Shepherd’s eyes look in kind love

At all the sheep who are His own.

The Shepherd’s shoulders – strong to bear

Them safely all the way to Home.

The Shepherd’s ears are quick to hear

Each bleat and “baa” from lambs that fear.

The Shepherd’s heart compassion feels;

He shelters weak ones, holds them near.

The Shepherd’s path – the wisest choice,

For sheep can trust His gentle voice.

The Shepherd’s presence, greatest gift;

He’ll never leave or His Word shift.

The Shepherd’s smile brings quiet joy;

His love breathes peace within the soul.

This Shepherd’s mine; I hope He’s yours,

For only Jesus makes life whole.
