Your Shepherding Heart

Like a shepherd, strong and true,
You guide us, in all we do.
Through valleys deep, through trials near,
You lead with love, casting out fear.

You walk the path both tried and steep,
Watching over Your precious sheep.
With gentle hands and words so wise,
You lift our hearts, You help us rise.

May God bless you, day by day,
As you teach us how to pray.
With faith so firm and love so bright,
You are a shepherd, shining light.

A Shining Light

A pastor is a beacon of light
Shining bright in the darkest of nights
A guiding hand, a comforting voice
Helping us to make a wise choice.

A pastor is a faithful servant
Dedicated to the Lord, in all that he does.
He preaches the Word, with all of his heart
Spreading the love of God, from the start.

He offers encouragement when we are down,
He listens with care, when we wear a frown,
He offers support when we need a friend,
He is there for us, until the very end.

Thank you for all that you do,
For sharing the love of God, with all of your might
You are a blessing from God, truly a shining light.
