Not the Ninety and Nine

Not the Ninety and Nine

Calling…

Their names echo out on the

Mountain high

All but one lamb to the

Shepherd came nigh

Counting…

The ninety and nine are safe

In the fold

The Shepherd leaves all

For the one in the cold

Searching…

The Shepherd draws close

To His one little lamb

While thorns and briars

Make wounds in His hands

Reaching…

His touch is so gentle

To gather in

This precious lamb

To safety again

Loving

The oil of healing

Pours over its head

Close to the Shepherd and

Willingly led

Rejoicing…

The party begins for the

One lone and lost

Now found and loved and

Bought with a cost


Ps. 23:1
 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

John 10:11
I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
