Hi friends, it’s been a few weeks since I have posted since I am recovering from giving birth to our second daughter, Zoe! Praise God we are all doing well and adjusting to our new life, and so the regular posts will resume within the next couple of weeks. In the meantime I wanted to share this song with you. It was written by a pastor with a desire to encourage the sheep under his care to find hope and assurance in the Great Shepherd. The song is meant to declare the glorious promises of salvation for all who place their faith in Christ. I hope it’s a comfort to you today; enjoy!
A precious hope for wand’ring sheep
It’s not our goodness that redeems
God’s love compelled His mercy flow
O’er every failure grace is shown
A precious hope for wand’ring sheep
To turn from sin is to be free
Bid heavy doubts and fears depart
Through holy joy and godward hearts
Not abandoned, not alone
The Good Shepherd holds His own
Eternal life, eternal joy
Jesus our hope, forevermore
A precious hope for wand’ring sheep
The Father’s grip will never cease
Our name He calls and bids us come
We hear His voice, He loses none
A precious hope for wand’ring sheep
All Christ died for He will keep
When sinful hearts seem to escape
Still Christ pursues all His who’ve strayed
Not abandoned, not alone
The Good Shepherd holds His own
Eternal life, eternal joy
Jesus our hope, forevermore
A precious hope for wand’ring sheep
The Spirit’s work, He will complete
Our weary souls He seals and holds
Until He brings us safely home
Hymn of the Day
