From the far side
Of your fields
I cry out to thee
When my vision is nearsighted
And the circumstances of my life
Have overwhelmed me
My innermost being
Knows that
Help is available
Just for the asking
So in my distress
Like a lamb
I cry out for you
To lead me to
The Rock that
Is higher than I

For you are the good Shepard
Who looks after your sheep
Compasionate and kind
You lovingly lead
Gathering me up in your arms
When I can walk no further
You set me on the Rock
That is firm beneath my feet
In the cliff of that rock
You protect me with your love.

Thank you Jesus.

Dearest friend; I so love this magnificent poem and what a confirmation it is for me today. From my little promise box, that I pick from every day, my verse for today is:
He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arms and carry them in his bosom and shall gently lead those that are with young...Isaiah 40:11
Thank you for this inspiration today.
Love, Ellie

Summers haunting melody
that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.

Oh Septsong, How beautiful this is. "When I can walk no further, You set me on the rock", How many times He has set me down there. Wonderful poem. Bonnie

Your poem so reminds me of the 23rd Psalm.
True, In life I become dis-focused and I begin viewing myself more like a charging bull rather than one of His lambs. Thanks for bringing me back into the arms of the Good Shepherd.

Rose I don't know how to describe this. What words to use to describe perfect beauty! So biblical and you just put it together in perfection! I love it!

Dear Septsong,
This poem is so humbling. When we, flesh, get tangled or go through trials feeling dispare, look to Jesus for our source of strength, our rock. Beautiful poem and I love it!
