Sweet Little Lamb Poem by Melvina Germain

Sweet little lamb, to thee you came.
Sweet and mild, God’s precious child,
born to Mary, placed in a manger of love.
Adored by our Father who shines above.

Oh sweet Jesus, that be your name,
a man, a carpenter, a preacher the same.
Chosen to grace God’s earth,
given an immaculate birth.

Sweet little lamb, that’s what you be,
a glorious saviour from God to thee.
Your enemies lurked in the valley of pain.
Rough waters trudged, true to God you remained.

Carrying the cross on which to die,
A black man helped you get by.
He leaned with you and shared your heavy load.
Forever you’ll shine in his off-springs abode.

Though blood spilled from your crown of thorns,
you weathered through that horrid storm.
Brutal soldiers nailed your hands and feet,
thinking, it is death your destiny will meet.

Crying out to our great Father above,
with compassion and unconditional love.
Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do.
This is what came from a man like you.

Sweet Jesus, I call on you again,
asking that you stand by my family and friends.
Our losses are many these trying days,
Sweet Jesus, be with us as we pray.
