Putting my own twist on Psalm 23's List

If the LORD is my Lamb I'll shepherd Him back To a world that has lost Him from their sight as we've often sunbathed and sailed without giving Him a thought He streams Mercy into our souls taking away the sins of the world for He's the Lamb of God I walk with Him through the valley of the shadow of death journeying with His Way of the Cross, same difference His Cross comforts me because He takes our place to redeem us He instituted the Last Supper table for all generations hidden in a world that finds His "Real Presence" hard to accept another healing Presence is felt through anointing our heads with oil even little St. Therese knew any sized cup will overflow abundantly, like a soul God is so good and merciful and His Divine rays chase me I witness to His Light, penetrating my heart on my darkest days even though I was never accepted into convent residency I seek a lifelong good standing with the Church, united to Him beyond the end [Modern Version Psalms 23 Poetry Contest by Miranda Hawley]

The Lord is my Shepherd, and I am His lamb. He is the great Shepherd, and He is looking after me for which I am so grateful. He has seen me through so much in my life that I know without Him I would have been lost in so many ways. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us and for dropping by my page. Sara K

Exactly, it's beautiful how it's both ways :) ... He's the Good Shepherd and we're His lambs whom He searches for and carries in His loving arms to take care of us gently, and yet He, too, is the Lamb of God. Amen! :D
