Good Sabbath Morning!
With a Sabbath Reflection!
The month of March celebrates the great composer, Johann Sebastian Bach’s
birthday, born in 1685. One of his musical compositions is often played in
weddings and celebrations –
“Sheep may safely graze and pasture
In a watchful shepherd’s sight
Those who rule with wisdom guiding
Bring to hearts a peace abiding
Blessing a land with joy made bright.”
And I would like to share a story I have written, inspired by love and care
for lost little lambs in our world of dangers and snares –
a lost
His lambs there is ever a Watchful Eye”
Wandering in an arid land
Far from the flock
Timid and shy a lost lamb unable
To find its way from danger back
The ravine between
Deep and confining
Its cry bleating then slowly fainting
The sheep in safety still abiding
Following their shepherd
Wherever he leads them
Upon a midnight’s sleep
Awakening, counting his sheep
Venturing into the night
For one was missing
Oh, children upon earth
Like wandering lambs
Searching for a Shepherd
In a land of danger, suffering the
Hand that harms them
His rod and staff
Securely leads them
Their bruises and hurts, their minds
And hearts with oils he soothes them
Smoothing their paths
Spreading a table before them
In the valley of death they do not fear
For in the house of their
Lord there is no despair
A room to hold them in that great
Mansion He has prepared
Dwelling forever!
