the shepherd the gate the gate keeper – v2

different images in the story
the way to understand Christ
the way to the Father
through the gate of Christ
but Christ is the land owner
the shepherd, the gate,
the gate keeper in charge
of the land owner’s flock
the gate to salvation
the way of paradise
through the gate of the shepherd
through the way of the cross

shining in the darkness, the world
the gate the shepherd the leader
the first born, the way to salvation
to eternal life, to life everlasting
we are blessed, we are forgiven
we are offered a way, through Jesus,
to enter in, the gate, the pathway,
the narrow way, our hope,
the measure, the life, the light
the life we long for with God
the gate the shepherd, our brother
the way to eternal life
