Lost

He was just a child who wandered off Lost and alone trying to find his way Starting to get dark and didn't know where he was He cried for his mom and began to pray Being in the woods with no sense of direction Too dark to see and afraid to run A stranger appeared out of the darkness And said don't be afraid, I'll help you, son Mom had been praying for her lost little boy Neighbors helped search with the police all around On the third day, sitting there in a clearing He was no longer missing, now he was found Mom hugged her son and started to cry The little boy said Mom I'll be alright Where is the stranger that helped me out He stayed with me through each dark night He told me when he was a little boy That once he had gotten lost too His mom and Dad were very upset Because they didn't know what to do Then the little boy shouted, Hey Mom, that's him I would know him anywhere When I was lost and so afraid He came to me and was always there Look at him Mom, I feel so sad I don't know what to say Tell me Mom, what did He do wrong Why did they hang Him on the cross that way? If we truly believe, He will always be there when we need Him most.
