Jesus is our Shepherd
by Barbara Philbrook

Jesus is our shepherd, we hear His beckoning call.
We recognize and we follow one and all.

We all hear when the time is right,
and responding to His beckoning gives us delight.

We recognize His voice and gladly obey,
accepting salvation as we bow to pray.

We acknowledge that a choice has to be made,
and we accept having the price of our sins paid.

We desire to receive life for eternity,
the loving gift Jesus offers to you and me.

We determine in our hearts to make the choice,
and we shout it to the world in a grateful voice.

We all share together in the new found joy,
and ask God our services to diligently employ.

We reach out to others who haven't yet heard,
and share with them the truth in God's Holy Word.

Jesus is our shepherd and we follow Him willingly,
directly through heaven's gates for eternity.
