Notes About The Poem

At a church that my children and I were
?attending many years ago had wounded
my spirit. I cannot remember what it was
about but, it seemed to stopped me in
my path until the Lord gave me this song
and it healed my wounded heart. I
?used to sing it and play it on my guitar.

One Little Lamb

ONE LITTLE LAMB

One little lamb had strayed from the flock
seeking to find his own way, 
but the Master left the 99
to carry the lamb home again.

Said the little lamb upon His Master’s back
oh Lord, I’m so glad that You came; 
I was so alone no home of my own
so fearful and so full of pain.

Then the Master took the lamb and placed him on His back
combed his hair and hugged him and said welcome back
He oiled all of his wounds and gave him food to eat
He said, don’t you know My flock without you is not complete?

Well you know that little lamb
from that time on, 
oh he followed Him oh so close
not wanting to stray ever again but remain near Him wherever He goes!

Now when you see the Master 
you will find that little lamb
lying at His feet or at His right hand 
he’s learned to follow His Master’s voice
he’s learned from his lessons to make the right choice!

As you’ve guessed, I am that lamb
and from that time on,
I’ve followed Him oh so close
Not wanting to stray ever again, but remain near Him wherever He goes,
but remain near Him wherever He goes.
