WHO IS THIS SHEPHERD?

Who is this Shepherd?

Who knows me,

Who sees me,

Who sees beneath 

the outward frame

of strength and resilience

that others marvel at,

Who sees my frailty

and fear 

and weaknesses


Who is this Shepherd?

Who has pulled me out

of the crevice 

I was stuck in,

Who wants to teach me

to hear His voice

walk in His ways

lean into Him

learn anew,

to walk anew


Who is this Shepherd?

Who sees my wounds,

Whose healing balm stings 

but also deeply heals,

Who strengthens me 

to walk on the heights,

to walk strong and well,

healed and whole

and free


Who is this Shepherd?

Who corrects me

and chastens me,

Who leads me 

to that place 

of repentance

and cleansing

to receive His grace,

so that I can get up

and walk stronger

and wiser


Who is this Shepherd?

Who redeems me

from the messes 

and the failures,

Who restores my dignity

and my identity,

Who sees all

that I can be

and leads me 

on that new path


Who is this Shepherd?

Who fights for me,

and sometimes

fights with me,

to see me healed,

vindicated,

strengthened,

Who has become

my shelter 

and my high tower


Who is this Shepherd?

Who says

"See, I am doing a new thing,

can you not see it?,

Stay close

and I will show you,

I will lead you

and teach you,

listen closely to Me"


Who is this Shepherd?

whose every word

becomes my daily bread,

whose solid truths 

become my new foundation

and my blueprint,

whose light

shifts the darkest shadows,

whose footsteps 

become the new pathway

to walk on

and thrive in

Who is this Shepherd?

Who feeds me,

Who satisfies my thirst,

Who leads me 

to the quiet place,

to the place of rest

and restoration,

Who nourishes me 

with His faithfulness,

and strengthens me

to walk through each day


Who is this Shepherd?

Whose healing oil

restores my face

to shine 

and radiate

His glory,

Who restores my voice

to sing His praises

and declare His truths,

so other sheep

will know 

they can trust this Shepherd


Who is this Shepherd?

Who gives new mercy

every single day,

whose faithfulness

is the rock 

on which I stand,

whose truths

become my new

vantage point,

whose grace

becomes my new strength


Who is this Shepherd?

Who picks me up 

every time I fall,

Who upholds me 

with His righteous right hand,

Who calls me out

across the waves

and says to me,

'eyes front, eyes up,

follow Me 

and only Me!' 



For thus says the Lord God: “Indeed I Myself will search for My sheep and seek them out.  As a shepherd seeks out his flock on the day he is among his scattered sheep, so will I seek out My sheep and deliver them from all the places where they were scattered on a cloudy and dark day.  And I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land; I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, in the valleys and in all the inhabited places of the country.  I will feed them in good pasture, and their fold shall be on the high mountains of Israel. There they shall lie down in a good fold and feed in rich pasture on the mountains of Israel.  I will feed My flock, and I will make them lie down,” says the Lord God.  “I will seek what was lost and bring back what was driven away, bind up the broken and strengthen what was sick;   Ezekiel 34:11-15

I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own.  As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep.  John 10:14,15



You will lift my head above the mighty waves

You are able to keep me from stumbling

And in my weakness

You are the strength that comes from within

Good Shepherd of my soul

Take my hand and lead me on


You make my footsteps and my path secure

so walking on water is just the beginning

cause my faith to arise, stand at attention

For You are calling me to greater things
