God's Shepherds

Gerrit W. Gong

"God’s shepherds are to . . . bring again that which was driven away . . ."

Gerrit W. Gong

Sorrow and penury drove me away.

My spirit was ragged and turning quite gray.

Kind words meant nothing to my shattered soul;

I felt that I never again could be whole.

Still, kindly shepherds came visiting oft --

until my hard heart once again became soft.

I may not be perfect, I may stumble yet;

but God's loving servants I'll never forget!
