Our Good Shepherd

And when you invite them to church, you’ve invited them into your life.
They’ve taken a seat in church, don’t be surprised when they take a seat in your house.
And when you ask them to follow you, be prepared to feed them.
And when they go missing, be ready to find them.
And when they make mistakes, be willing to teach them.
And when they fall in mud, have mercy and help to clean them.
You are showing them the way to the Savior’s heart
Allow them to by pass your heart as well
You are revealing to them Christ who died
So let them see your death as well
And when they picture Christ as a servant
Your face will come to mind
Keep them warm
Keep them laughing and filled with love
Keep them on the very same narrow path you are on
Keep them close
This is the work of the Great Beloved
Our Good Shepherd.
