Tune: Binchester
('Happy are they, they that love God')
Based on John 10 v.22-30
********
Jesus He be the good Shepherd
His sheep they hear, have heard
He knows them, they will Him follow
No stranger's voice they know
His nail-scarred hand showing the way
Lord keep us safe we pray
And as He walks His wounded feet
We see, mercy entreat
His side was pierced, His heart broken
In suffering for all men (mankind)
A Shepherd on a cross, my place
He took, and all, each race
Inspire us Lord, sheep to be bold
We members of your fold
You crucified, then rose again
Grant us fresh grace for when
When we follow you, self deny
And sense that you are nigh
None can take us out from your hand
Nor can your power withstand
Eternal life, life from the dead
You promise us, our Head
Be our Shepherd, our Leader, Guide
Here in our hearts reside

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.6.8.6. metre, based on a recent talk/sermon, linking Jesus the good Shepherd with His Passion. Plus a pic, not of a sheep, but....of Fido?! He might be a sheep-dog today (lol).

Poor guy who was playing didn't get any billing at all! He's not you is he Orchi? Do you play the organ?

Thanks Lorna. I know - I keep wheeling the guy out. It's not play. I can't play it. I gotta pay him overtime, ya know! lol.
It's funny because the organ is magestical but only really seems to belong in a church. In someone's home it's strange and oddly corny.
Blessings Orchi
Have a great day
Thanks Andrew.
Good Evening UNCLE STEVE ~ Nice picture of FIDO ~ Jack Russell ? WE like the Organist ~very avuncular (good word) ~ He looks much too YOUNG to be YOU unless you have a DORIAN GREY in the Attic ?????? Love the HYMN (sophorific ~ 2nd good word !) and the paraphrase on JOHN 10 ~ always an uplift on to higher ground. ANGELA loves the Psalms (especially in Spanish) but my fave is the Gospel of John ~ AWESOME ! Thanks for caring & caring 24/7. We will beware of low flying SHAMANS !
Blessings and Doggy treats for FIDO
Love in the Spirit ~ ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡🧡 + 🧡
Thanks B&A.
Good one Orchi.
