The Shepherd With the sheep the shepherd wanders Where tender grasses grow. Majestic mountains in the distance There bubbling waters flow. Where the summer winds are blowing With his flock he loves to stay. Ever watching o'er their safety Caring for them on their way. As our shepherd watches o'er us May our lives be fully blessed That we will know a peaceful solace And He will keep our hearts at rest. And if one single sheep is missing He will search the hills so bare. Until he finds that one who's missing And brings him back into His care. As the newborn trusts the mother She who fends and gives her all. We must put our trust in Jesus For long ago He took our fall. Picture goes on the right side please. Having been raised in a Christian home, Roy knew of Christ and His saving grace and was aware that He who knew no sin gave His life for Roy as atonement for all sin. However Roy never totally submitted his life to Jesus so that God could bless him in the way the Lord desired. In 2001 Roy took this vital step and now knows God's peace and joy. Roy was inspired to write of Jesus and to glorify His name, and now as God's spirit fills him with new meaning for his life, he wants to share this gift with others. Roy wants everyone to experience God's eternal peace and fulfilling love as he has, since submitting his life to Jesus.
