He Binds My Wounds
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. (Psalm 147:3)
Come!
Stay With Us, Lord
Jesus will abide with us if only we ask. (See Lk. 24: 28-29)
Like Sheep Without a Shepherd
When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. (Mt.9:36)
Rescued
Tender Shepherd
An old tv version of “Peter Pan” had a sweet song that was the Darling children’s night prayer. “Tender Shepherd, Tender Shepherd watches over all His sheep…” a line from the song. It just seemed a fitting title for this work.
Many Are Called
In the parable of the wedding feast in Mt. 22:14, Jesus says, “For many are called, but few are chosen.” These sheep looked to me as if they were responding to the shepherd….almost.
My Light
“The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom should I fear?” (Ps. 27)
All Is Well
He sleeps yet his heart is awake.
Verdant Pastures
The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want. In verdant pastures He gives me repose. (Ps. 23:1)
