Notes About The Poem

Leave the Hundred and Look For the One

Leave The Hundred and Look For the One

If I have a group around me
And one would leave from me
One would leave the scene 
what does this mean, what should I do
I choose to leave the group
and come look for the one
This is what Jesus would have done

If I had many, many paper dollars
So many that I couldn't count'em
I would lose just one, yes I'd lose one...
what does this mean, what should I do
I choose to look for the one
Look for the one dollar
This is what Jesus would have done

If I had one-hundred sheep
In the sheepfold and there was just one gone
It has wandered off, it's just one sheep lost
Leaving me with ninety-nine
Why wouldn't be fine
What should I do, what would you do...?
I choose to leave the group
and come look for the one
This is what Jesus would have done
Leave The Hundred and Look For the One
