The Shepehrd

The Shepherd
like a shepherd and his sheep
they wander and he seeks
the shepherd must help them find their way
for many of them have gone astray
the hillside is rocky and steep
but there is always hope for the lost sheep
each sheep is given free will to roam
but the shepherd will always be there to guide them home



The Sheep
the day will come when these once lost sheep will know which way to go
they will be a step behind the shepherd with the younger lambs in toe
they will now lead the herd and guide them on the path
making sure the young lambs don't fall behind or go ahead to fast
the lambs will follow the sheep and learn to trust the shepherd
they will all walk together peacefully as one mighty herd
as they walk along this path they will gather more stray sheep
they will let them into the herd and teach them to follow the shepherds feet
the herd will grow in numbers and guide many to hear the shepherds call
the sheherd leading them proudly to the most beautiful pasture of all

The Lamb
the lamb is born and must be taught to walk
these little lambs need the sheeps to keep good watch
these young lambs have been grazing in the dead pastures for too long
they wander about eating what does not fill them or make them strong
the Shepherds Master is saddened by the little stray lambs
he wants the Shepherd to go back along the path and gather them with his hands
the lonely lambs are scattering among the dark and lonely fields
the shepherd tries to find them all and bring them back to the master to be healed
their wounds are many for they did not do as they were taught
they wander away into the pasture of darkness and are caught
once within the dark pasture they are filled with empty drink and feed
they are weakened then deceived into believeing that this is all they need
but the master sees them dying from within their little hearts
so he sends the Shepherd to carry them away from the field of empty wants
the Shepherd will guide them onto the path back home
teaching them to stay with the sheep and to be careful where they roam
there are many dangers beyond the bright green pastures
the sheep must lead them with the Shepherd who knows the way of the Master
