The Shepherd’s Call

In pastures green, where shadows fall, 
A Shepherd tends His flock with care. 
His voice, a gentle, guiding call, 
Leads weary souls from dark despair.

He knows each sheep, their hearts laid bare, 
Their wounds, their fears, their silent plea. 
With love, He binds what’s torn and frayed, 
And lifts them up, sets captives free.

No selfish gain, no hidden greed, 
This Shepherd’s heart beats selflessness. 
He lays His life down for His sheep, 
A sacrifice that brings forth blessedness.

Leaders, take heed, examine well, 
Your motives, goals, and hidden aims. 
Are you a shepherd, true and just, 
Or driven by ambition’s flames?

For Godly leadership seeks to serve, 
To feed the hungry, heal the soul. 
With sacrificial care, we thrive, 
And find our purpose, reach our goal.

So let us lead with hearts ablaze, 
With empathy and love unfurled. 
Remember, God’s heart beats for His own, 
The Shepherd seeks, redeems the world.
