Opening Songs and Responsive Words

“Gentle Shepherd”

Gentle Shepherd, come and lead us,

for we need You to help us find our way.

Gentle Shepherd, come and feed us,

for we need Your strength from day to day.

There’s no other we can turn to

who can help us face another day.

Gentle Shepherd, come and lead us,

for we need You to help us find our way.

(Psalm 23 ESV)

Leader: The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

All: He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me

beside still waters.

Leader: He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of

righteousness for His name’s sake.

All: Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow

of death, I will fear no evil,

Leader: …for You are with me: Your rod and Your staff, they

comfort me.

All: You prepare a table before me in the presence of my

enemies;

Leader: You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

All: Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days

of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of

the Lord forever.

“Showers of Blessing”

There shall be showers of blessing,

this is the promise of love.

There shall be seasons refreshing,

sent from the Savior above.

Showers of blessing, showers of blessing we need.

Mercy drops round us are falling,

but for the showers we plead.

There shall be showers of blessing,

send them upon us, O Lord..

Grant to us now a refreshing,

come now and honor Thy Word.

Showers of blessing …

There shall be showers of blessing,

oh, that today they might fall.

Now as to God we’re confessing,

now as on Jesus we call!

Showers of blessing …

Life Application Questions

“The Shepherd of God”

Isaiah 40, Ezekiel 34, John 10, Psalm 23

1. How does Isaiah 40:9-11 describe the shepherd-like care God

promised to provide to His people?

2. Why does God appoint human shepherds for His people? How

had the Israelite leaders failed to fulfill this purpose?

3. How does God respond to the failure of the Israelite leaders in

Ezekiel 34?

4. Who is Jesus revealing Himself to be in John 10?

5. As we reflect upon what Jesus did for the formerly blind man,

consider the words of Psalm 23. In what ways does Jesus care

for His sheep, and how does that care stir your emotions?
