The lost sheep by Maraleh


In the darkness that's falling
I hear my lord calling
the words fall soft sweet on my ears
the light there does comfort my tears
In the storms all around
falls that wonderful sound
of him calling my name
the lost sheep still the same
when I wander astray
he comes looking my way
my shepherd so dear
he comes back for me here.
In the pitfalls of life
In the rigors of strife
I hear softly my name
when I bow down in shame
saying come back to me
I will set your soul free
oh the wonderful words
soar on wings up like birds
he picks my soul up
and returns with the cup
to fill my dry soul
and make it new, whole
He gave all that he can
in his marvelous plan
for one lost little sheep
to come back to his keep.
With that still small soft call
he searches for all
those little lost sheep
who fell out of his keep
those who wander astray
he still seeks today
to come back to his home
and never more roam
he brings forth the light
to ease and delight
those who suffer or cry
for all those who try
He lights up the way
to return today
for all those who are lost
he payed every cost
with blood drops like rain
he paid full in pain
in gethsemane
to set us all free.
How greatful I am
for his marvelous plan
to save such as I
Our savior did die
Oh what joy fills the day
When one gone astray
comes back to the fold
back out of the cold
when the darkness does fall
and they heed the call
oh what joy for the earth
for each soul is of worth
Repentence he asks
for these simple tasks
the price fully paid
for the one who has strayed
just come back on home
and do not again roam
Yes come back to stay
Come back here today.

I wrote this one after listening to the parable of the lost sheep.  I love that parable.  it has so much meaning for our day and age.  I hope you enjoy this.
