There will be one flock with one shepherd (John 10:16; NLT).
1. You give us all one body, Lord,
One mind, one heart, one soul.
2. You give us all one Saviour, Lord:
Your Son, who makes us whole.
3. You give us all one love, Lord God,
And answer every plea.
4. You give us all one Spirit, Lord:
Your Truth, which sets us free.

Beautiful post, as always, Ruth.
When I was in Bethlehem a few years ago, we were having lunch in a charming restaurant called : Ruth’s.
Outside the window I was watching a shepherd. He was herding sheep and goats together. The sheep were docile, and all liked to stay together. The goats, on the other hand, were unruly, and did not mind being by themselves.
Reminded me about what Jesus said about the eventually fate of sheep and goats.
Thanks for sharing this. 🤗
Still smiling! Many thanks. Take care XXXXXX
