The shepherd’s heart beats with love divine,
A passion burning with fervor divine,
For every sheep in the fold of grace,
He’ll lead them home to behold His face.

He guides us through the trials of life,
Amidst the struggles and endless strife,
With gentle words and loving care,
He leads us on and takes us there.

Oh, how the shepherd’s heart does glow,
With deep compassion and mercy so,
May we be blessed from day to day,
With shepherds like this on life’s way.

A preacher of the gospel in its purest form,
With words of power and inspiration,

A message with a heavenly scope,
That touches hearts and transforms minds,
And sets our souls on a heavenly find.

Oh, how he preaches so truthfully,
This champion of the faith so dutifully,
May his words continue to resonate,
In our hearts as we navigate.

He leads by example, this man of God,
A faithful follower of the Heavenly Lord,
With a heart that’s pure and a spirit brave,
He points the way that the Master gave.

His days are spent in faithful service,
Humbly seeking to fulfill his purpose,
With a heart that’s kind and a gentle soul,
He inspires us to be more whole.

Oh, what a role model he does provide,
As he seeks to live his life in stride,
May we follow in his footprints true,
And become imitators of Christ anew.
