Like
a ravenous wolf
The
enemy trailed the flock of sheep
Watching
and waiting
For
an opportune time
Before
long his next victim was in sight
A
young lamb who had wandered from the flock
He
lost sight of the Good Shepherd
Faced
a vicious enemy alone
With
lighting speed and power
The
enemy pounced upon his prey
Tearing
flesh, ripping muscle and crushing bone
Jaws
poised and ready to clamp down on the lamb’s neck
Without
warning the enemy was struck with a rod
The
Good Shepherd went looking for His lost lamb
He
heard the terror filled cries
Intent
upon destruction he didn’t see the death blow coming
The
lamb was freed
Saved
from certain death
The
Good Shepherd picked up the injured lamb
Carried
him back to the fold
Tenderly
his wounds were nursed
Healing
balm applied
The
Good Shepherd lovingly spoke
Precious
lamb, stay close to the One who loves you
