The Good Shepherd

John 10:7-10

Jesus Christ is the door for unto the sheep,
Thieves are not able to pass as they sleep;
The sheep are unaware as unable to hear,
For the door gives security free from fear;
For any man that enters through the door,
Shall be saved and have life forever more;
They shall go in and out to find pasture,
Not let a thief to enter that's a vulture;
Christ has come for us living abundantly,
Care of His flock that has been obediently.
Truly a good shepherd that is Jesus Christ,
Who gave his life when He was sacrificed;
He would not let a wolf or vulture to harm,
Unknown to His sheep not to hear an alarm;
A good shepherd knows danger ere it hits,
Stopping deceivers as well as the bandits;
For the good shepherd is not a hired hand,
Rather as the Son of God at His command;
The one to lay down His life for His flock,
Who knows His voice when He may talk.
