A poem to help you ponder Psalm 6

“Troubled Bones”

written by Dwayne Sheridan

———

The guilty climber, he can see

Though nothing more than a thief

And a robber

The keeper opens up the gate

To the blind, seals their fate

Sons and daughters

Those who are but hired hands

They will never take a stand

When there’s danger

But the Good will give his life

For the fold, in the strife

He’s no stranger

Don’t follow after strangers

Don’t heed their siren call

Flee the shouting of the loveless

Through the safety of the Door

Don’t follow after strangers

They want to take your all

Heed the one with the gatekeeper

Through the safety of the Door

I’m the Good shepherd, hear me sheep

I know my own and they know me

Like the Father

And for this reason, He loves me

My life laid down, no thievery

It’s my honor

There are those not of this fold

I must bring them in also

Wolves howling in the night

The day labors scatter quickly at the sound

But the Good one stands to fight

Gathers in his own by laying his life down

Don’t follow after strangers

Don’t heed their siren call

Flee the shouting of the loveless

Through the safety of the Door

Don’t follow after strangers

They want to take your all

Heed the one with the gatekeeper

Through the safety of the Door
