The Good Shepherd


John 10

Jesus said that who enters not by a door,
Is a thief that we can not ever ignore;
But whoever enters through the doorways,
Is the shepherd who guards sheep always;
For the sheep knows the shepherd's voice,
He calls them and leads them by choice;
He goes ahead of the flock and they pursue,
For the sheep now his voice and construe;
If the sheep hear a stranger they will flee,
And not return until the shepherd's decree;
Again Jesus said I am the door of the sheep,
And will remain safe as they rest and sleep;
As I stand guard for the sheep do not hear,
The robbers and thieves they do not fear;
I am the door by me any man who enter,
Shall be saved and able to go and reenter;
The thief may come and try to steal or kill,
But I came to give life under God's will;
I'm the good shepherd to lay down his life,
As his sheep can relax and not have strife.
