The Grass May be Greener But…

Posted on by Marla
Looking around I find I’m lost
I’ve wandered off at a ghastly cost
Where are the others I think as I cross?
To the pasture on the other side…
The greener grass I wanted, I needed, I had to have…
Not heeding the shepherd or obeying his voice…
Now I’m trapped all alone with a terrible choice
I’m only trying to feed my belly…
But now my knees shake like jelly
Bah, I cry, Bah, Oh please…
Bah, Shepherd, come rescue me…
Coming face to face with the worst of my enemies…
Why didn’t I listen, to the Shepherd’s commands…
I’m just a poor sheep I don’t understand…
I’m weak and meager not worth very much…
Now it looks like I’ll be Mr. Wolf’s afternoon lunch…
A whirling sound buzzed by my ear…
The wolf ran off he was much a feared…
The Shepherd’s rod came just in time…
The greener grass will make you whine…
He’s all I want and all I need…
I’m just a sheep a humble breed…
Good Shepherd guides and gives and leads
All us sheep if we’ll just believe…
And after today, I’ll never stray…
Thank you Good Shepherd is all I could say!!

Matthew 18:12-13 Good News Translation (GNT) “What do you think a man does who has one hundred sheep and one of them gets lost? He will leave the other ninety-nine grazing on the hillside and go and look for the lost sheep. When he finds it, I tell you, he feels far happier over this one sheep than over the ninety-nine that did not get lost.

I love the Lord Jesus Christ and am passionate about writing. I hope you enjoy the blog and come to visit often. Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2: 2-4
