You’re the only name on my lips

 

You’re the only place that I fit

 

You’re the only name that I can call on

 

You’re the only grace that I can fall on

All you have you give, you hold nothing back

 

You held nothing back, so for you I live

 

So for you I give all that I have

 

I will hold nothing back

 

 

 You’re the only hope on which I stand

 

You’re the only home I’ll ever have

 

You’re the only trust thru my sorrows

 

You’re the only love whom I follow

 

You’re the only light that shines evermore

 

You’re the only life that’s worth dying for

 

I am not worthy and yet you call me your own

 

I owe every breath to you, I owe you my life

 ………………………..…………………….

 

The Creator became the created.

 

The righteous became condemned

 

The breathe of life became death

 

The lawful judge became grace

 

The King of glory took my place!

Wrote this a few years ago, thought I would share it…

I am, a little lost lamb..

Alas, I am the lamb, you spoke of…..

the one continually drifting wayward.

I am the one, for whom you faithfully leave the herd.

 

You leave them all to find this lamb,

and guide me home, by your hand.

Yes I am the lamb you spoke of…

The one who always goes astray

A little lamb foolish and small, determined to go her own way.

Tho the shepherd may break my legs to confine

 His embrace restores me every time.

 

Again, i am the lamb you spoke of….

For once again I find myself lost,

lured just like a child, I have wandered far off.

I am caught in a trap set just for me.

“I am just a little lost lamb”, I say as I weep.

 

THEN IN THE DISTANCE UPON THE HORIZON

I  RECOGNIZE MY SHEPHERD SWIFTLY ARRIVING!

 

Softly he says

“tho you’ve gone astray,

Just turn to me, I’ll lead the way

Little lost lamb, a small task i give you

Just follow behind me, do as i do.

Submit to me, you’re servant I’m master

Trust that I won’t lead you to the slaughter.

Trust me because YOU ARE MY OWN

I am your faithful one, I AM YOUR HOME

ignore the world, ignore religion

Trust I’m the beginning and the ending.

And when when you feel like I am distant

because we have been walking silent…

Hold tight to my words, PRESS ON!

Walk where I walk, my precious one.

Do not move to the right or the left,

for I alone know where to step.

If I don’t look, don’t look that way,

Only say the things I say.

Follow me little lamb, draw near

Do as I do, and have no fear.

Little Lamb, I am your shepherd

I WILL PROVIDE, I AM YOUR PROTECTOR!

Now when you come across lost sheep

You above all else must tell of me.

Tell of my love, tell of my freedom

Proclaim the forgiveness found in Jesus!”

 

I am the little Lamb you spoke of

unable to survive on her own.

easily lost, yet easily found and brought home

Happy am I to be this little lamb

For this little one, has the greatest shepherd in all the land.

 

John 10:11

I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for his sheep

 

John 10:14

I am the Good shepherd. I know my own and my sheep know me.

On Fire
