Shepherd of The Poor

Shepherd of the Poor

Verse 1

You wore no crown, no golden robe,

Just dusty shoes on holy roads.

You bent to lift the broken soul,

You made the least your greatest role.

Chorus

Shepherd of the poor,

You knocked on every door,

Not to preach, but to restore,

The love we all are searching for.

You were mercy in the storm,

A fire steady, kind, and warm—

Shepherd of the poor.

Verse 2

You held the outcast with your hands,

No borders drawn in love’s command.

Your voice was calm, your message clear:

"The kingdom comes when all draw near."

Chorus (repeat)

Shepherd of the poor,

You knocked on every door… (etc.)

Bridge

And when the mighty looked away,

You stayed and knelt with those who pray

In silence, hunger, grief, or shame—

You called each one by name.

Final Chorus

Shepherd of the poor,

Still walking evermore,

Your echo lives in every shore—

The love we all are searching for.

Now Heaven opens wide its door,

To welcome home the

Shepherd of the poor.
