Analysis of Feed my sheep
Open up Gods’ holy Word and feed my soul
for it alone can heal and make me whole.
I cannot live by earthly bread alone
and need the food from Gods’ heavenly throne.
His Word’s my Inspiration and my Light
and helps me walk by faith and not by sight,
It opens my eyes and helps me to see
how great is the love He’s lavished on me.
