We Long to Hear the Shepherd's Voice

5/19/2008

(From a teenager here tonight, reflecting her observation of spontaneous conversations amongst a couple of Believers -- that often “turn into” large gatherings, such as today when some of the Saints here were between brunch and kickball :) )

We long to hear the Shepherd’s voice

His love will reflect our choice

We long to hear what is True

Jesus, we long to draw closer to You

Words of Life are rays of Light

For those who love, for those who fight

For those who wear Jesus’ name

No conversation will leave us the same

All those with hearts soft and true

Are those who truly love You

Those who long for the King

Will reflect their choice in everything

When light is shone we will draw near

For those who long the truth to hear

The sheep are drawn to the Shepherd’s voice

His great love will guide our choice

Jesus knows every sheep by name

He knows that no two are the same

Despite our differences all

We know the Shepherd’s call

When He speaks, His sheep draw near

His voice will wipe away our fear

When wolves howl and winds blow hard

We follow Him whose hands are scarred

This is the King who died for me

My Savior who set me free

My Lord who lifts me when I fall

The Shepherd whose sheep know His call
