Lost Sheep
If a friend or a loved one has gone astray
go after them and show them the way
do whatever it takes to save that lost sheep
for he is more important to God than those in his keep
Remember the parable of the prodigal son
who partied away his inheritance until there was none
broke and ashamed he returned to his Fathers place
saying "I am unworthy Father, and a disgrace!"
He said, "I am hungry and homeless, please accept me back
I will be as one of your servants, my work wont lack"
his father rejoiced and fit him with all the best
for now his son was home and he could rest
No longer by Satan was his son bound
alive, well, and repenting he returned to Holy ground
once he was dead, and for things of the flesh he did strive
his Father exclaimed "Rejoice, for he was dead, but now is alive!"
Remember also the parable of the lost sheep
once returned to the shepherd such joy did he reap
he said "rejoice with me, for I found that which was lost"
so go after that sheep, at any cost
Jesus said "such will be the joy in heaven over one who repents
even more than over ninety nine just and righteous whom need not relent
So go after that sheep that went astray
earn a blessing from the Lord today
rather than throw that sheep to the wolves
send him home, safe on his holves.
