One of His Sheep

I am one of His sheep

On my own, I am not much to brag about

But Jesus is my Shepherd

I am intimately acquainted with Him

I know His voice

I know its tone, its rhythm

The voice of a stranger is foreign to me

Like a cap that does not fit a jar

Like a square peg in a round hole

I will not entertain it

I cling to my Shepherd

He is welcome in my heart

Like a key that unlocks treasures

Like a hand in a well-fitting glove

He leads me to green pastures

I do not want

In Him I am safe and secure and satisfied

I am one of His sheep
