Because the Shepherd
Knowing the depths of my need
Gave Himself for me;
Because the Shepherd
In His goodness carried me
On His own shoulders;
Because the Spirit
Has shone around my darkness
The light of God's Word;
Because the Spirit
Has swept the house carefully
Until He found me.
Because the Father
Ran to give me a welcome,
Embraced, and kissed me.
Because I am clothed
In the Best Robe that God has,
The worth of Christ.
Because I've been given
The token of divine love
A ring on my hand.
Because I now wear
The dignity that God gives,
Sandals on my feet.
Because I can share
The feast on the fatted calf:
God's thoughts of His Son.
Because God in grace
Desires to give me a place
In the Father's house.
Amen, especially the first and last.
