The Wolves Are Gone

 

The Wolves Are Gone

 

The wolves are gone; the herd is small

Now you won’t have to fear at all

 

The predators have many taken;

Indeed they’ve culled the herd

But now the flock, no longer shaken

Strengthens in God’s word

 

Our sheep will welcome all new lambs

And love them as their own

Passing on to everyone

The teachings God has shown

 

Not all who come in clothes of sheep

Are sheep beneath the wool

Indeed they come as ravenous wolves

And eat till stomach’s full

 

If your sheep to you don’t bleat

The wolf is in your flock

Herding them unto himself

With his seditious talk

 

Sound the alarm; ring the bell

Beckon all yours nigh

Try to rescue all you can

From those so doomed to die

 

Teach all your sheep to test the spirits

To see who is of God

The one sows himself in you

Is nothing but a fraud

 

A wolf will take you to on side

To whisper in your ear

With half-truth and full blown lie

He’ll draw you ever near

 

Please realize that you’re the meal

Before the fatal bite

And bleat to warn your shepherd

That something isn’t right

 

The wolves are never really gone

They always circle herds

Looking for the innocents

To snare them with their words
