A wolf in shepherd's clothing
You lead your sheep astray
Tossing aside those posing
a threat to your crooked way

You strip them of their fleece
Making them to lie in the snow
As you wrap yourself in wool sheets
Laughing, because the sheep don't know

You feast on golden cakes
While casting your sheep a single scrap
You ignore the coyotes and snakes
Deserting the wounded and trapped

Oh, how your words tickle
The ears of those you mislead
Thirsty, they lap the trickle
When a gush of water is what they need

So, what will you say
As you receive your judgment due?
Will you weep and give thanks
Realizing The Savior's blood covers even you?

Finally
A Free leaf
Fluttering
Gliding down, down
Joyously and gently
Landing upon the pyre
Willing to be ignited
Willing to smolder
Willing to radiate

Finally
A Flaming leaf
Blistering
Fervantly and bright
Blazing upon the pyre
Possessing warmth
Possessing passion
Possessing light

Beautiful
You are lovely
The Rock
You support me
Refuge
I am covered by Your wings
Abundant
My thirst is quenched at Your springs
Fountain
My cup overflows
Living Water
Satisfaction for my soul
Radiant
Filling my path with light
Unfailing love
So much better than life
