do the sheep matter

do they care
those appointed shepherd
merely hired hands
watching the sheep

do the sheep matter
to them really
would they lay down their lives
for these sheep

the truth in crisis
in the middle
standing in the breach
with the living Christ

we are the sheep
He is the Good Shepherd
He cares for us
we are His flock.
