THE SHEPHERD LEADS
My tender shepherd
leads me on stone
through the rough country
to paths yet unknown.
You know the right way
when rocks abound
You urge me on
through land-mine ground.
Where is green pasture
and water still,
easy for resting
no challenge to will?
You pull at my faith-strings
You challenge my mind
No path-walking venture
I'm travelling blind.
You promise your presence
I know you are there
Tired and deflated
I treasure your care.
Invisible roadmap
Shepherd can read
Trusting your pathway
I follow your lead.

You urge me on/through land-mine ground.
Land-mine ground is a strongly nuanced phrase that the modern person can really relate to. yeggs.
Ellen, I really loved this. The simplicity of it, together with the very clear message that it's not an easy path (although we would like it to be). I particularly liked this section:
You pull at my faith-strings
You Challenge my mind
No path walking venture
I'm travelling blind
I definitely relate to that. It does often feel as though we are travelling blind, even though He knows where He's leading.
Well done, and welcome to FaithWriters.
