The Shepherd’s Voice

/ pastorpete51 / Leave a comment 
The voice of the shepherd
It rings crystal clear
It skips on the hilltops
And in the valley I hear

Stay close Stay close
As close as you can
For this journey ahead
You must stick to My plan

Then I turned and I saw
The wound in His side
And I trusted the voice
Of my Shepherd who died

Stay close Stay close
As close as my heart
On this narrow way
We won't travel apart

Stay close Stay close
Whatever may come
For the rough road ahead
Is the way that leads home!

Not a Sparrow

Mother Robin was upset with me

When I shook her babies nest

I only tried to trim her tree

Thinking I knew best

I didn’t hear their tiny song

Or see they were in danger

Till mother tweeted out so strong

To guard them from a stranger

If that Robin worried so

Much more our God above

Watches over little Sparrows

And children with His love!

Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care Matthew 10:29 NIV

The Great-Great Love of God

/ pastorpete51 / Leave a comment 
When we were weak and failing Him
That great great love of God
Drew us back from edge of cliffs
And waves that we can't swim

And gently carried us to lie
At the ground near to the cross
Where we were covered by His blood
While Jesus chose to die

Then shepherds us with staff and rod
And prays for you and I
With mighty arms He brings us home
What Great Great love of God!
