Just Enough

.
In a land mostly parched,
Little sprigs of grass stick up
     here, there, but not everywhere,
But just enough for a shepherd's flock
     to eat of and rest upon.

In a land mostly scorched,
Little springs of water trickle
     here, there, but not everywhere,
But just enough for a shepherd's flock
     to drink of and refresh within.

In a land mostly barren,
True shepherds are so few
     here, there, but not everywhere,
But just enough to lead the flock
     to pastures green and waters still.

Jesus is our shepherd.
He is our pasture green,
     our sustenance,
          our rest.
He is our water still,
     our refreshment,
          our peace
Here, there, and everywhere,
     just enough, and even more.
 

Psalm 23:1-3
