The Shepherd Beckons

Baa Baa Black Sheep
You've left the flock to roam
But the Shepherd now is calling
He wants to welcome you back home.

He has left the ninety and the nine
To search and find the one
Listen to our Saviour's voice
Don't harden your heart and run.

Jesus came down from Heaven
To seek and save that which was lost
He was sacrificed for you
For love comes with a heavy cost.

Though your wool is red like crimson
He can remove the deepest stains
He can throw your sins as far as east is from west
Because His love always remains.

Oh my wandering little Black Sheep
Before you wander out into the storm
Remember, the only place of safety in this world
Is when you are cradled in His arms.

He loves you dearly, my beloved Black Sheep
You need never doubt that He cares
Jesus is knocking softly at your heart's door now
But only you can invite Him there.

What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and the nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, Saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, More than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
Luke 15:4-7

For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
Luke 19:10

Jesus is our Shepherd.
John 10:14-15; Hebrews 13:20; 1 Peter 5:4
