A Sheeple I am ~

I’m one of His sheep,
for this I am proud
I have no problem
saying this aloud.

For, He’s my Shepherd,
with Him I need not
all that I require
for me He has got.

I’m one His sheep,
it’s Jesus who I follow
for He fills the void
in a heart, once hollow.

For, He’s my Lord,
my Life and my Savior
His grace is why
I’ve my Father’s favor.

Yes, I follow Jesus,
so if that makes me a sheeple
I will not be offended  . . .
when called this by other people!

All My Soul Needs ~

The Lord is my Shepherd,
I want nothing more
then the joy and glory
for me He has in store.

He satisfies my thirst,
my hunger He fills
my anxiety and fears
He calms and stills.

The Lord is my Shepherd,
I want not a thing
for my heart is set
on the peace He’ll bring.

He is my saving Light,
He is my High Rock
I’m so blessed to be
a part of His flock.

The Lord is my Shepherd,
there’s nothing I lack
my faith in Him is all . . .
He want’s me to give back!

My Shepherd Knows ~

My Shepherd . . .
watches out for me
alongside Him
He wants me to be.

He doesn’t want,
for me to wander
for He knows I will
fail and flounder.

My Shepherd . . .
tends after me
safe in His fold
He wants me to be.

He knows the danger,
lying up ahead
whenever I resist
being Spirit lead.

My Shepherd . . .
knows what is best
when beside Him
I am at rest!

My Shepherd’s Waiting ~

In the valley I found,
my Shepherd waiting there
to lead and to guide me . . .
how to give Him my care.

He offered me His staff,
to lean my weariness upon
He took from me my grief
gave me joy to put on.

In the midst of tragedy,
suffering, pain and loss
His rod directed me . . .
to the work on the cross.

He gave me the strength,
hope for each tomorrow
for, He took upon Himself
the pain of my sorrow.

In the valley I found,
my Shepherd waiting there
and now I have His peace
replacing my despair!

My Shepherd ~

My Shepherd never takes me,
to a land that is unknown
nor to fields that are not green
or to where wild seeds are sown.

My Shepherd never leads me,
without a gentle nudge or prod
for He looks out for my safety
with His loving staff and rod.

My Shepherd never guides me,
through terrain that is too steep
for He knows my limitations
and will protect this little sheep.

My Shepherd never shows me,
the way that will steer me wrong
He will see me through the valley
and help me to be brave and strong.

My Shepherd wants to feed me,
in pastures that are rich and lush
and so my thirsty soul will follow
and to His living waters I will rush!
