The Good Shepherd

I am that I am,
I lay My life down for the sheep.
For I love them so –
They belong in My heart;
I encapsulate them in My love –
They will not be moved.

Follow Me for I am.
There is no darkness in My love.
Fear is bound and cast down
To the lowest low.

Do not be afraid,
I have come to comfort
All who seek My face.

My blood has purchased them –
Do not foolishly deny it!
For My sacrifice is good,
Pleasing and perfect.
It is there for all.

I stretch out My hands and wait
For My lost sheep
To come home.
