David Harris - Shepherd or Sentinel

He stands on the hills of heaven,
looking out over us all.
Keeping an eye on all his flock,
day and night.
A shepherd or sentinel,
call him what you like.
He stands there to guard us,
and send evil a flight.
He has many names,
you can call him
what you will,
but we will all greet him
in the future sometime.
