THAT ONE LOST SHEEP
Author(s): Michael Piano

KeyWords: Witnessing (About),

Verse 1
Safe were the ninety-and-nine in the fold,
Safe, though the night was stormy and cold.
"But," said the Shepherd, when counting them o'er,
One sheep is missing; there should be one more."

Verse 2
Although His feet were weary and worn,
And though His hands were rent and torn,
And though the road was so rugged and steep,
Still our Good Shepherd sought long for His sheep.

Verse 3
There in the night He heard the faint cry,
From the lost sheep just ready to die.
Then in His arms, to shield from the cold,
He brought that lost one safe back to His fold.

Chorus 1
The Shepherd went out to search for His sheep,
And all through the night on that rocky steep,
He sought 'til He found him,
With love-bands He bound him,
And I was that one lost sheep.

Chorus 2
Your Shepherd goes out to search for His sheep,
And all through the night on that rocky steep,
He will search 'til He finds you,
With love-bands He' bind you,
And you are that one lost sheep.
