MORE IMPORTANT
Have you seen the painting of Jesus carrying the lamb?
Eyes full of compassion, arms and hands full of care,
He invites everyone to rest, just like that little lamb
In His loving arms, I would love to be safely there.

Then a quiet thought came to me, as clear as could be,
“Stop for a moment, can you not gently, kindly feel
His loving arms around you, keeping you in safety?”
Then tears of gratitude, helped me begin to heal.

I am more important than a little lamb in His keep,
For He suffered, died, arose for a sinner like me,
For I am of His Father’s fold so more than a sheep,
An older brother wisely guiding me on to eternity.
