In John 10 Jesus plainly tells us,
About one Shepherd and one flock,
He says He is the Good Shepherd,
Yet some of another shepherd talk.

Likewise also in the 23rd Psalm,
Young David writes about the same,
The Lord was the king's Shepherd,
But today many use another name.

Hebrews 13 too clearly informs us,
Jesus is the shepherd of us sheep,
Still others insist in a new one,
Why don't God's Word they all keep?

Even Peter in his first Epistle,
Points to Jesus just like the rest,
Christ is our Shepherd and Bishop,
For He alone passed Father's test.

The Lord was smitten and afflicted,
On a Roman cross our sins He bore,
Enduring such great pain and agony,
As sharp nails thru His flesh tore.

But without the shedding of blood,
Our Salvation couldn't be achieved,
Once His mission was accomplished,
His Spirit His Father then received.

But then exactly three days later,
Jesus gave proof of what He had said,
Jews and Romans were so astounded,
When Jesus Christ rose from the dead.

Thus He became our true Redeemer,
Freeing us from the penalties of sin,
With a clear promise of Life Eternal,
If we'll repent and accept Him within.

So away with Rome and that deceiver,
He is no vicar, shepherd or anything,
Nor has he power to mediate for us,
I look to Jesus alone who is my King.
