Lord,
For years I tried to shepherd myself,
To find my own green pasture.
Then I heard your call to turn back,
And come into your care - your fold.
I found the green pastures.
I found the still waters.
I found you!
You still search - seeking the lost.
Calling each sheep by name.
Relentlessly, passionately.
Penetrating the darkness.
Oh, Hound of Heaven.
