The Good Shepherd

There once was a flock
That was lost and afraid
It wandered around
Without direction for days

But the Lord looked down
With compassion from above
And sent a good shepherd
To lead them with love

The Shepherd was kind
Loving and wise
And cherished his/her whole flock
No matter the color or the size

Though the shepherd was quiet
Humble and meek
Every ear listened
Whenever he/she would speak

He/she showed them the way
To walk in the light
And he/she prayed every day
For God to give them true sight

They flourished and they grew
Through the knowledge they gained
About the Savior from above
Who lived without blemish or stain

The flock was so thankful
To the Lord up above
For sending a wise leader
Who was so full of love

He/She led them with
A strong and gentle good hand
And took the whole flock
Safely into God's Promised Land
