My Shepherd Speaks ~

My Shepherd speaks,
unto my weary heart
so His love into it
He can impart.

He beckons me,
to rest and know
not to worry
but, to just let go.

He says my name,
so I can hear
the words I long
“I’m always here.”

He reassures,
my every doubt
to trust in Him
to work things out.

My Shepherd speaks,
His voice I know . . .
I follow it because
the way He’ll show.

My sheep hear my voice,
and I know them,
and they follow me:

Jesus Is My Shepherd

Jesus is my Shepherd,
His voice I do hear . . .
I follow It so to Him
I can stay close and near.

I listen for Him to tell me,
where He wants me to go
then with confidence
I let Him the way show.

I take my cues from Him,
not to wander or to stray
for by His side is indeed
the safest place to stay.

I entrust Him with my life,
for He gave His own for me
my faith in Him goes beyond
all I can and cannot see.

Jesus is my Shepherd,
His voice I listen to . . .
right now He is telling me
He wants you, to hear Him too!

Life As A Sheep ~

Life as a sheep,
has its ups and downs . . .
laughter and smiles
sadness and frowns.

But, we follow Jesus,
no matter our mood
be it we are jubilant
or sad and subdued.

Life as a sheep,
has its highs and lows . . .
one day it may be sunny
the next one it could snow.

But, we trust Jesus,
wherever He may lead
be it in stormy weather
or warm pastures to feed.

Life as a sheep,
has its hills and dells . . .
but, we eagerly follow Jesus
to wherever it is He dwells!

John 10:27

I’ll Never Forsake You ~

I’ll never leave or forsake you,
for you I will always care
I understand your feelings
how much you have to bear.

I’ll never leave or desert you,
even when you think I’m far away
I know each step you have taken
I have been with you all the way.

I’ll never leave or depart from you,
I am always right here near by
I know what you’ve been through
in my bottle are the tears you cry.

I’ll never leave or quit on you,
even though you feel I’m not there
I’m always watching out for you
you have always been in My care.

I’ll never leave or forsake you,
your every thought I know and see
I’m always here to listen to you . . .
now can you say the same ~ for Me?

What My Sheep Know ~

His sheep hears His voice,
they follow Him eagerly
for they know their burdens
He’ll take from them happily.

They know they can trust,
their Shepherd to guide
and all of their daily needs
He will joyfully provide.

His sheep sing their praises,
they have nothing to fear
for they know their Shepherd
is always close and near.

They know they are safe,
from all danger and harm
they know they’re sheltered
in His gracious, loving arms.

His sheep stay close to Him,
they abide cheerfully
for they love their Shepherd
and stick by Him faithfully!

My Shepherd’s Voice ~

Is that You Lord,
is that You calling out to me
is that Your light Lord
that I’m beginning to see?

Is that Your voice,
I’m hearing in the shadows
is that Your staff
leading me to green meadows?

Is that You Lord,
is that You giving me direction
is that Your rod
providing me with protection?

Is that Your peace,
that I’m feeling all around
is that Your love
making my heart bound?

Is that You Lord,
is that my Shepherd’s voice I hear?
if so then Lord . . .
I faithfully give to You my ear!
