The Means of Access

by Linda Jackson  
8/08/2017 / Poetry

I AM Truth and I truly say, I AM the Door, there is no other way

As sheep walk through, becoming fresh and clean

Their souls I will forever keep

Many other shepherds come

They are robbers and thieves

They tell lies, wanting My sheep to believe

Their whispers come near

My sheep always have ears to hear

I AM the Way, I AM the Gate, I AM the Door

Access through Me and hope is restored

My pastures will feed and strengthen My sheep

As they go into the world where the road is rough and steep

The thief will come until his time is done

He desires to steal the peace of My lambs

He wants to kill and destroy across the land

His army leaves them bleeding, losing their joy

These sheep are Mine, their souls are not his to claim

They are Mine, on them I have written My Name

I AM the Shepherd, good to My sheep

If they wander off and get caught in thorns

I call, knowing they are weak and torn

I keep reminding them, I AM their life

For I gave Mine, their darkness I bore

I, the Lord, faced the demon beast

Now his shepherds try to poison My sheep

I teach My lambs to be alert

For the false shepherd will run and hide

When the fence is broken and the wolf steps inside

Young lambs are snatched up and believe his lies

Or they scatter rambling about confused and lost

They have followed the sweet words of pride at a great cost

My voice they know

If they will listen, My soothing voice will call them home

I AM the Good Shepherd, My Father and I know our own

Other lambs are to come through this Gate

The means of access to My pasture is open now

One day it will be closed

No more will be allowed
