Pastor Charles E. Corbin Jr. & First Lady Crystal L. Corbin
There was once a flock
That was lost and afraid
It wandered around
Without direction for days
But the Lord looked down
With compassion from above
And sent a good shepherd
To lead them with love
The shepherd was kind
Loving and wise
And he cherished his whole flock
No matter the color or the size
Though the shepherd was quiet
Humble and meek
Every ear listened
Whenever he would speak
He showed them the way
To walk in the light
And he prayed every day
For God to give them true sight
He taught them about
The blood of the Lamb
And about the creator
The great I AM
They flourished and they grew
Through the knowledge they gained
About the Saviour from above
Who lived without blemish or stain
The flock was so thankful
To the Lord up above
For sending a wise leader
Who was so full of love
He led them with
A strong and gentle good hand
And took the whole flock
Safely into God's Promised Land
