This song combines two beautiful passages of The Bible that describe God's lovingkindness and longsuffering (great patience)toward sinners. Jesus is The "Shepherd" Who cares for those who would simply admit they are sinners (repentance), and come to Him for God's mercy, compassion, forgiveness and salvation (be Born Again by REPENTING of sin and BELIEVING the soul-saving gospel message, as 1 Corinthians 15:3-4, Romans 10:9-10, John 3:16-21, and Ephesians 2:8-9 describe). 

Jesus tells a parable of "The Prodigal Son", who had left his "Father" and the safety of his "HOME" for a life of sin and debauchery in "this world". 

When he finally "comes to himself" (realizes how far he has fallen into SIN), he turns to his "Father" and seeks forgiveness. 

But when the Father sees his prodigal returning HOME from the "road of SIN, He "RUNS" to his lost family, welcoming him with arms wide open, kisses and nothing but the very best he has to give him.

This parable expresses the unfathomable, "AGAPE LOVE" that our Heavenly Father has for "whosoever would BELIEVE" on Jesus Christ for remission of sins and eternal LIFE. 

Have YOU "Turned to Your Shepherd", The "Guardian of Your Soul"?

Luke 15:20
“And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.”

1 Peter 2:25
“For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.”

Romans Chapter 10
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

John Chapter 3
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

Ephesians Chapter 2
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

King James Version (KJV)
