Words & Whispers

The Good Shepherd

Lord, You are the Good Shepherd

Who cares for His sheep

with constancy and concern.

You guide and protect,

You nurture and nudge;

Your eyes never sleep.

You see each one,

young and old, weak and strong.

You guide us to green pastures

and fresh waters,

You protect us from harm.

When one of us goes astray,

You go after us.

You look and look and look

until You find us.

Then with great rejoicing,

You bring us back into the fold.

You desire that no sheep are lost.

Your joy is seeing Your sheep

in the safety of Your kingdom.

Your loving care

makes all the difference.
