A word to all the elders
Of their duty to their flock
To not outsource what matters
To the newest on the block
Zeal is no replacement for
Years of humble loving service
Yet instead of arrogance
Knowing this should us nervous
That we not become motivated
By doing any of this for our gain
For the foundation we do any of it
Is to bring glory to one Name
The chief shepherd is returning
To share glory never fading
So we can encourage all the sheep
There will come an end to our waiting
We must put on true humility
(Not false airs of self denial)
As servants of new sheep arrived
Not judges at a trial.
We serve as we have been served
And Love as He’s Loved us
Empowered by the Spirit given
And through whom we place our trust
He will return to complete everything
His promises He’ll keep
Until that day we continue in Love,
To serve and pursue His sheep
