Today's hymn is "Saviour, Like a Shepherd Lead Us".
At nights, I'll often read one or two Arch Books before bed and the one night both boys grabbed two books that were about David (plus we were at David for our Bible storybook - was neat how they all fit together). I love the imagery he used in the Psalms from, I suspect, his life experience of being a shepherd and how He saw the Lord as a shepherd as well. Isaiah 53:6 speaks a little on that picture as well, "All we like sheep have gone astray..." We all think we're so free when we have "turned every one to his own way". Yet He still chooses to not just lead us in word, but by His very life where He lived perfectly and died. He seeks you as a loving shepherd who has tasted what we taste. Those who believe in Him are bought with a price. While others seek their own way, the true path to freedom is recognizing we are lost sheep and need the Shepherd of our souls to lead us.
Lyrics:
Savior, like a shepherd lead us, much we need Thy tender care;
In Thy pleasant pastures feed us, for our use Thy folds prepare.
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus! Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus! Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.
We are Thine, do Thou befriend us, be the Guardian of our way;
Keep Thy flock, from sin defend us, seek us when we go astray.
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus! Hear, O hear us when we pray.
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus! Hear, O hear us when we pray.
Thou hast promised to receive us, poor and sinful though we be;
Thou hast mercy to relieve us, grace to cleanse and pow’r to free.
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus! Early let us turn to Thee.
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus! Early let us turn to Thee.
Early let us seek Thy favor, early let us do Thy will;
Blessed Lord and only Savior, with Thy love our bosoms fill.
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus! Thou hast loved us, love us still.
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus! Thou hast loved us, love us still.
