"He chose David also His servant, and took him from the sheepfolds: from following the ewes great with young He brought him to feed Jacob His people, and Israel His inheritance. So He fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skillfulness of his hands" (Psalm 78:70-72). "Feed My sheep" (John 21:17).
David the shepherd was chosen by God
From sheepfolds he led with staff and with rod
To cherish God's people, as sheep he would feed,
Skillfully guiding them where God would lead.
We too have been chosen by God's heart of love.
We have a commission decreed from above,
To guard God's inheritance found in His flock,
And skillfully guide them in their daily walk.
