The herd is secure in the fold;
But far in the cliffs without guidance,
A sheep is in danger alone.
The cliff is engulfed in a thick fog,
The wand'ring sheep hides in a den,
However the good Shepherd found her,
And carries her safely back home.
CHORUS
He calls in the midst of the dark storm,
He bled on the path as He searched;
Praise Jesus because He has found her,
For I know that the lost lamb was I.
2
The wilderness fills Him with terror,
The thistles are piercing His feet;
But He is determined to find it,
Defying a treacherous death,
And anxiously Jesus is searching,
The lamb has absorbed all his thoughts;
At last the Lord's quest is completed,
He carries her safely back home.
3
The prodigal boasts in her safety,
She's resting in His loving arms;
And in jubilation she cries out,
What fortune! What bliss! What delight!
The terrible night is behind her,
The dawn breaks and day is approaching;
The sheep that was lost is delivered,
And again she is safe with the fold.

I will plant the most precious of seedlings,
Of the glorious gospel of love;
I will plant and be joyful so doing,
For the Lord loves a generous soul.
