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.
