That one lost sheep
March 4, 2007 by Barbara H.
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.
Although His feet were weary and worn,
And though His hands were rent and torn,
Although the road was rocky and steep,
Still the good Shepherd searched long for his sheep.
There in the night He heard a faint cry
From the lost sheep just ready to die.
Then in His arms to shield from the cold
He brought the lost sheep back safe to the fold.
The Shepherd went out to search for the sheep,
And all through the night on the rocky steep
He searched till he found him,
With love bands He bound him,
And I was that one lost sheep.

I’m sorry — I don’t sing or play an instrument, so I don’t know where you might find it.
My uncle who had a gorgeous baritone voice used to sing this as a solo at our church. I “relived” it yesterday a.m. and was blessed to see the words today. Thank you.
I just found this picture at a flea market and loved it.
