The Kingdom of God by Dot Zweil

The Kingdom of God

One must come as a little child
To enter the Kingdom of God.
We are the sheep of His pasture;
We all pass under the rod;
For the straying ones He gathers,
And treasures them as gold.
Not one of them shall perish
Who rest safely in His fold.

We know the Voice of our Shepherd,
And where He leads, we will go.
We find his power sustains us
Through sorrow, grief and woe.
He gives rest to the weary;
Peace to the troubled heart,
And there is joy in obedience
To each who has a part–in His Kingdom!
