John's compositions are found in the catalogues… Go to person page >There is a need for shepherds in this place,
where pain and suffering wear a human face;
where hungry children stand outside the door,
and homeless families long for home once more.
Refrain:
There is a need for shepherds in this hour.
There is a need for Love to show its power!
