The Good Shepherd


John 10:11-16

The good shepherd lays down his life,
For the sheep during danger and strife;
A hired hand rather than a shepherd,
Can be quite the sniffling little coward;
They are not his own that he oversees,
When the wolf comes, he merely flees;
He flees for the is cares nothing for them,
For wages paid, it isn't worth the mayhem;
Then the wolf snatches one of the sheep,
As the rest scatter the one he will keep;
Jesus is our good shepherd watching us,
Bring contentment while finding solace;
He keeps things calm when it looks grim,
He knows His own and His own know him;
As the Heavenly Father knows His Son,
Christ knows the Father one-on-one;
Other sheep that are not part of this fold,
Must be brought and do as they are told;
As Jesus is the shepherd hearing His voice,
Obeying as a flock of one as they rejoice.
