The Good Shepherd

by Lanette Kissel
(Evansville, Indiana)

The Good Shepherd watches over his flock.
He won’t ever lose one of His sheep.
He enfolds us within His loving arms.
We are all safe within His keep.

When the wolf is crouching just over the hill,
When the Deceiver lurks outside our door,
We can call upon the Shepherd’s strength
To stand against temptation once more.

The Shepherd won’t let us out of His sight.
He watches over us in the night and the day.
When Satan is near, He is aware of our plight.
With His guidance, we will not go astray.
