Some of the sheep say
That the greatest thing
A sheep can do is
To graze.

Others are afraid
That it is
To stay safe.

Still others love that
Their better answer is
To love the herd.

But if the Shepherd
Is to be believed
The greatest thing
A sheep can do is
To follow Him—

Even if that should mean
Walking away
From the grazing
And the safety
And the herd.
