The Shepherd's Love

Oh! Shepherd Divine, how can i compare your love?
You provide and feed and care;
Like none else could.

You carry in your strong arms,
The little lamb, weak and weary;
Close to your heart to stay.

You understand the ones with young,
And lead them gently on the way.
Oh! such tender care!

You seek and find and never give up,
On the unworthy,runaway lamb.
Finding good even in this stray.

You correct and lead in the right way,
Your eyes always on the flock;
Only good shall unfold

-Preena Deepak Samuel
