lost sheep

 

You've heard of that lost sheep?

 The one that left the 99?

 Far behind?

Well, I'm that guy - 

 who wouldn't abide

 in the peace and safety

 found at my Shepherd's side.

Nope, couldn't do it,

 I wandered away,

 led astray

 by every sin and temptation 

 known to man.

Thought only of myself 

 not how my sin would affect

 those who love me well.

My Shepherd wept

 when He saw I'd gone.

Then my Shepherd left

 to find me and bring me home.

But i wouldn't go with Him.

I refused  - so obstinate!

So He broke my legs

wept as i wept

I'll never forget 

how He picked me up

and carried me away

from the Hell

full of the pleasures I craved
