He is my shepherd
... He can be yours too
He knows me
He knows you
And I know Him
more and more
closer and closer
The relationship deepens
He is always near
But we
are not
When we go
our own way
Follow another path
a road we think
will bring us more
- of what we're unsure -
But when we seek
other avenues
The relationship falters.
He still knows you
He is still near
But you have moved away
and the relationship with
The One
that matters most
is no longer.
He is my shepherd
He knows me
He is always near
And I know Him
more and more
closer and closer
and the relationship
deepens.

"I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own." (John 10:14)
"The Lord is my shepherd; I have everything I need. He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams. He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name. Even when I walk through the dark valley of death, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me. You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You welcome me as a guest, anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings. Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever." (Psalm 23, New Living Translation)
