Feed My Sheep
Jesus leaves the disciples with this holy charge;
As He returns to the Father, the task is large.
Yet, He left His Spirit here to take His place;
Enabling each believer the power in what we face.
Establishing the Church from the disciples' preaching;
Taking over the simple charge, to the people reaching.
Fully able to do what is the Lord's desire;
Touching peoples souls, setting them on fire.
Sometimes I wonder if God's plan was good;
Does the Church feed His sheep like it should.
Yet, the church is the created agent for bringing about change;
No soul is outside the Church's jurisdiction, power, or range.
Do not falter and judge the Church that God made His rock;
A place where all of his sheep can come, yes, the entire flock.
From within the walls, to outside on the byways and the street;
Jesus said, ‘Feed My sheep.' This is how evil meets its defeat.
