From the Poem:  My Shepherd

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!

John 10:27

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

Sticky Note to God 01.20.16

God of My Comfort ~

Oh, God of my comfort,
lifter of my weary head . . .
thank You, for keeping me
in Your loving stead.

Oh, my Sun, my Shield,
protector of my heart . . .
thank You, for the strength
You daily impart.

Oh, my Retreat, my Refuge,
defender of my life . . .
thank You, for overcoming
all of my strife.

Oh, my Peace, my Rest,
healer of my thought . . .
thank You, for the calm
that for me You bought.

Oh, my Shepherd, my Rock,
keeper of my soul . . .
thank You, for making me
by Your stripes whole!

unto thy servant.”

I am But Your Lamb ~

Lord, take me as I am,
for You are my  Shepherd. . .
I am but Your lamb.

Lead me with Your rod,
feel free to poke and prod
guide me with Your staff
so I’ll never see Your wrath.

Rustle up my inner strife,
bring about eternal life
show me the green pasture
so my soul You can capture.

Direct me as You will,
with thy Shepherd’s skill
instruct me how to stay
teach me not to stray.

Steer me to Your flock,
where You’ll be my Rock
point me to Thy herd
so I can learn Your Word.

Direct my every stride,
keep me at Your side
move me close to You
till its only You I pursue.

Lord, take me as I am,
for You are my Shepherd. . .
I am but Your lamb!
