Hear the Word of the Lord, And do not fall asleep; Being a good shepherd, Must take care of His sheep.
For the sheep became prey, For many wild beast; Sheep are dumb and could stray, That would become their feast.
No shepherd has been there, Only a hired hand; Who did not really care, Sleeping was in demand.
He did not search for sheep, That had wandered away; Because he did not keep, Watch upon as to stray.
Shepherds must hear the Word, As the Lord has spoken; Attentive what is heard, Remaining unbroken.
He will require sheep, Continue to be fed; And not to fall asleep, That they not become dead.
The shepherds no longer, Having a lamb to eat; It makes them not stronger, For standing on their feet.
The Lord will seek them out, Where the sheep might have gone; And go searching about, Proceed from dusk to dawn.
The shepherd seeks his flock, That scattered in the land; He continues to walk, Each one to find at hand.
For the shepherd is good, Not to lose anyone; A watchful eye that would,
Until their time is done. Vote for this poem
