The Lost Sheep

(Written on 04/25/05)

Down again- Fallen to the ground.

Tell me please, can the light in me be found?

I've tried so hard; left bruised and scarred.

No light. No hope.

Where am I to go?

Won't somebody find me?

I've lost my way- so far astray.

My strength is gone,

got nothing to hold on.

Help me, I plead- I, the lost sheep.

Do I turn back?

What more to I lack?

These wounds cut so deep, and I feel weak.

Can't seem to reach, though I try.

Will this ache in me subside?

Won't somebody find me?

I've lost my way-so far astray.

My strength is gone,

got nothing to hold on.

Help me, I plead- I, the lost sheep.

Then from on high, I hear His call;

It reaches me and soothes my battered soul.

I can make it to the end

with the Shepherd as my friend.

He will lead me home.
