I WILL GATHER THE REMNANT OF THE FLOCK

A Holy Communion Poem

 

Lovingly, the LORD makes reference to His sheep;

Shepherds had been entrusted the sheep to safely keep.

But the shepherds had failed in the task entrusted;

The heart of the LORD was deeply angered and stirred.

 

The LORD Himself would search for His flock that was driven away;

He spared no effort to search for all the sheep that had gone astray.

He would gather the remnant of His flock from all countries;

They will be brought back to the fold and fed most faithfully.

 

He would bless them so that they would be fruitful and multiply;

He would ensure that they would always have adequate supply.

He would give them good shepherds who would feed His flock;

Tenderly, He would care for them as the Great Shepherd of God.

 

The sheep would not need to be gripped by fear of predators;

They would not feel dismay for the Lord would be their Protector.

How wonderful to know this wonderful Shepherd of our souls;

He will fulfil His promises and He would make us truly whole.
