Feed the Flocks

I ask the spiritual leaders,
In being the Gospel feeders;
Of being a witness of Christ,
Sufferings how He sacrificed.

For there is nothing that is sealed,
About the glory that is revealed;
And leaving us without a doubt,
What Jesus is truly about.

Be good shepherds over the flock,
Teaching the Good News as you talk;
For God has entrusted in you,
To tell all that Christ has been through.

Do not just do it since you must,
Even though God has put His trust;
Watch over it as God has done,
With willingly giving His Son.

Do it because of desire,
As if your soul was on fire;
And the way how to quench the flame,
Is to continue to proclaim.

Do it because having a need,
Not for doing it out of greed;
But a desire to provide,
A means for others to abide.
