Nov 9.98: Light For The day - "Gentle Shepherd"

"I am the good shepherd;
I know my own and my own know me."
-- John 10:14 (RSV)

-----------------

"Gentle Shepherd"

He is our Gentle Shepherd
He knows His own
We follow His voice
And leave others alone

He guides us into safety
And provides our every need
If we will just follow
And let Him lead

Our Shepherd fights our battles
And lays down His life too
Can you believe He does all this
For me and for you?

He gives eternal life
Our soul will never perish
This He does for all His sheeps
He is the One we cherish

So let's continue in our walk
With the Master of the flock
He is Shepherd of our lives
And Guardian of our souls

-- Jeanette A. Wilson
