From Isaiah 40:10-11:  “See, the Lord God comes with might, and His arm rules for Him; His reward is with Him and His recompense before Him.  He will feed his flock like a shepherd; He will gather the lambs in His arms and carry them in His bosom and gently lead the mother sheep.”

Father’s passionate plan

His mercy offers one way

Defeating darkness of sin

Sheep shall no longer stray

Father’s earthly descent

Love bears mankind’s salvation

Shepherd leads those lost to peace

Faith grows hope’s foundation

Father’s redeeming love

Unconditional with grace

Calvary bearing man’s debts

Resurrection’s birthplace

Father’s ultimate deed

Tomorrow offering light

Spirit leading as Christ’s guide

Transgressions colored white

Father’s forgiving breath

Savior’s search will never end

Wayward return to His voice

Disciples, He now sends

From Hebrews 13:20-21:  “Now may the God of peace, who brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, make you complete in everything good so that you may do His will, as He works among us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever.”
