to GOD be the GLORY

If The Lord is Our Shepherd ~ CHRISTian poetry by deborah ann

If the Lord is our Shepherd,
then why do we still want?
If He supplies all our needs,
then why do our lacks still taunt?

If besides still waters He leads,
then why do we still fear?
If He fills us with quietness,
then why is it not here?

If green pastures bring peace,
then why are we still stressed?
If He leaves us not lacking,
then why don’t we feel blessed?

If He restores our soul,
then why do we still doubt?
If He satisfies our deep thirst,
then why is their still a drought?

If in righteousness He guides,
then why do we still wander?
If the Lord is truly your Shepherd,
these things we’d not have to ponder!

Psalm 23:1-3

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness
for his name’s sake.
