The Good Shepherd -free translation of the poem “Blandul Pastor” by Traian Dorz

I saw Him passing by my side,
The Gentle Shepherd slowly cried,
“My flock, I give you everything,
Eternal Spring, Eternal Spring”.

And when a sheep was sad and down,
He lovely smiled without a frown,
Then took her in His loving arms,
Away from harm, Away from harm.

One day, a lamb was very sick,
He cared for him gently and quick,
He’s The Good Shepherd, He has died,
For us His Bride, for us His Bride.

I met Him later at the cross,
Adorned with thorns, a crown from us,
Was made a murderer, a thief,
He bore our grief, He bore our grief.

“Forgive them, Father, please” … He prayed,
“I died for them, the price is paid”
The tears of Grace poured down His cheek,
He loves His sheep, He loves His sheep.
