Called the shepherd to the sheep
“Come apart and rest awhile”
Sighed the sheep within herself
– I don’t know why I feel so tired…
Called the shepherd to the sheep
“Come lie down in pastures green”
Groaned the sheep within herself
– I have to get these dishes clean…
Called the shepherd to the sheep
“Come walk beside the waters still”
And the little sheep just grumbled
“Where did I put those headache pills?”
And the sheep just ran around and round
The rut that she was in
‘Till at last she fell exhausted
And she saw the shepherd grin.
And she thought about her empty cup
And she thought of God’s provision
And she thought that He could fill her up
And maybe readjust her vision.
So the sheep cried to her shepherd
As she knelt on bended knees
“I’ve been so busy being busy. Lord-
Have You been calling me?”
