Analysis of The Sheep Are in the Glen
The sheep are in the glen once more
To eat another meal.
They've done it many times before
As someone tries to steal
Their lives to end dependance on
The Shepherd and His Love,
Not realizing He's not gone,
Nor is the Father above.
The wolf has tried so many times
To separate the sheep
He has an endless list of crimes
Because of hate so deep!
The Shepherd will defend them all
And lead them to His Home.
The time will come when wolf will fall;
No Love to call his own.
