Le Bon Berger

“Lord You know I’m such a stupid sheep. 

I worry about all sorts of things;

whether I’ll find grazing land, 

still cool water, a fold at night in which I can feel safe. 

I don’t.
I only find troubles, want, loss. 

I turn aside from you to plan my rebel way.

I go astray. 

I follow other shepherds, even other stupid sheep. 

Then when I end up on some dark mountain, 

cliffs before, wild animals behind, 

I start to bleat: 

Shepherd, Shepherd, 

find me, save me, or I die. 

And You do.”  

—Joseph Bayly

Jésus dit: "Je suis le bon berger. Le bon berger donne sa vie, pour ses brebis."

—Jean 10:11
