The elders of the
church have thus been tasked
To shepherd well the
members of their church,
To volunteer their time
and not be asked,
This is not any job
from nine to five;
Responsibilities are
round the clock,
To act not with
constraint but always strive
To help all with their
needs without a squawk.
The love of Christ is
present in you all,
Regardless of your
status in the fold.
Not one of you are too
high not to fall;
Not one of you are too
low to remold.
To oversee the flock you have to be
A servant to them all and happily.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Feed the flock of God which is among you,
taking the oversight thereof,
not by constraint, but willingly;
not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind
1 Peter 5:2 KJV
