I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep: John 10:11
{A Psalm of David.} Jehovah is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; he leadeth me beside still waters. He restoreth my soul; he leadeth me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; thou hast anointed my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely, goodness and loving-kindness shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of Jehovah for the length of the days. Psalms 23:1-6

John 10:11, Hebrews 13:20We'll sing of the Shepherd that died,
John 10:15,16, Acts 20:28,29That died for the sake of the flock;
Philippians 2:8, John 14:31His love to the utmost was tried,
Hebrews 12:2, Revelation 3:21But firmly endured as a rock.
-
John 10:3, John 14:21What love from the Shepherd did flow,
John 10:14, John 17:12When in care for the sheep He was led
1 Samuel 17:34-36, John 18:8,9To stand between them and the foe,
1 John 3:16, Ephesians 5:2And lay down His life in their stead!
-
Revelation 5:9, Psalms 5:11Our song then for ever shall be
John 10:18, Hebrews 13:20Of the Shepherd who gave Himself thus;
Hebrews 13:20, Psalms 17:17No subject's more glorious than He,
Ephesians 3:19, Psalms 9:1No theme more affecting to us.
-
Ephesians 3:19, 2 Thessalonians 2:16Of Him and His love will we sing,
Revelation 5:9, Habakkuk 3:18,19His praises our tongues shall employ,
Revelation 5:9, 1 Corinthians 15:49Till heavenly anthems we bring
Luke 16:9, Luke 15:7In yonder bright regions of joy.
