HYMN DAY! “Shepherd of Love” by John Peterson isn’t what we’d call a traditional hymn since it was published in 1980, but I’ve always loved the words. Take them to heart today.

Shepherd of love
You knew I had lost my way.
Shepherd of love,
You cared when I’d gone astray.

You sought and found me,
Placed around me
Strong arms that carry me home.
No foe can harm me,
Or alarm me,
Never again will I roam.

Shepherd of love,
Savior and Lord and guide
Shepherd of love,
Forever I’ll stay by Your side.
