To the Iraqi war he declared
    Like little lost sheep
    None of his party did weep
Not one was found dead lying there...

Mary's lamb ran into Bo-Peep of the lost sheep
  My snow-white fleece is yours to cut and keep

If you, Bo-Peep, will then accept me as I am
  Verily, forsooth ~ No longer shall I be a lamb...

I am the son of the living God,
Jesus, the beloved of the Father.
The humble servant, the shepherd,
The one who saves the lost sheep.

I am the light of the world,
Jesus, the Messiah,
The bread of life,
The one who gives eternal life....

Seer of flock, He guides
  shields helpless ones from harm
    swiftly finds lone, lost sheep
        staff and rod, protector 
      shelters all, none are left
   stars shine bright, blessed night
safe, sure, beneath the One.

Oh, Lord, you left the flock,

as others wept in shock-

to seek the stray you lost;

take home at any cost-

that one misguided sheep

which from your arms did leap.

How deep- your love for all

to save just one, from Fall.

Lord, this is your world!
Help all your lost sheep,
to bend their proud knees.
And wake up to fully adore you.

Let us love and cherish each day.
No matter what comes our way.
We can be joyful in your world!
To pray, work and then, to play.

You are The One
And divisions in Your Name,
You are The Peace
And wars everywhere; 

You are the Creator
And killings in Your Name,
You are The Merciful 
And hate everywhere;  
 
You are The Forgiver  
And sentences in Your Name,
You are The Guiding Light   
And lost sheep everywhere....

choosing wisely in a world
with no room for wisdom
now tending to your heard
one is lost one got out
one got stolen 
head for the mountain's
cause your sheep is there
one had no blemish got burnt up
stolen one, guy had a strange price to pay
and the one that got out
is wondering were the    you are...

Funereal sky, bloated river; stifling.
Lost sheep mar near fields, bleating mournfully.
Weighs heavily, this filial duty.
Frankly suffocating. Gather her up.

Dead crow, flat, gross underneath. Spit at it.
Must make ado; toss the ashes and go.
Her porch light was on the night Jesus came.
And now there's no one here to bring me home....

heaven’s knight
he walks across the clouds
the first one to greet me

I am astounded
is this Jesus?
I am too shy to ask

He takes my hand
leading me back across the wave of clouds
I feel beloved, appreciated, respected

without words he has alleviated my fears.
I follow the way a lost sheep follows a shepherd
which he is, right?

the lost baby was facing sleet in the middle of the blizzard
his poor mother must be frantic!
everyone begged her to stay inside,
but Diana could not rest until the lost sheep was saved
in the middle of the blizzard 
this baby must be cold and miserable
bleating for his mama
she had to fish him out of the ditch
and she got terribly dirty, but it was worth it

just watched a Michael 
Moore film & am still reeling
the things I don't want

to know but must I?
sweet relief to fall off in 
here and find some "more"

wackos but with a 
much different song to share
like a great escape

it makes me cry to 
read your comments and then to 
experience your 

experience far 
from the maddening 
lost sheep with lost voice...

notes are written on my ledger,
suffer for this, also 4 that,
agreed before i was born alive,
suffering no, just tit 4 tat,

accept your measure,
it's be brave time,
sow n reap the hurtful treasure,
next time will be mighty fine,
reap the measure yours 2 keep,
logic, reason, a paltry crime,
another sad lost sheep...

The Good Shepherd lost one of his sheep
and searched over the mountain so steep.
   Then when it was found,
   with friends gathered round,
they rejoiced with that sheep he could keep.

For one who went sinfully astray
the Good Shepherd went out of his way,
   with gift of free grace
   overcoming disgrace
the sinner was restored to the Way

Luke 15.3-7...

M-ankind's last hope
H-as been taught by God's wisdom; 
E-very word of the Lord
L-eads one to blissful kingdom.

E-xtend the last hope of mankind, 
C-hosen way must be shown; 
H-ide not the lamp of truth, 
A-s you enlighten the dark zone.
N-ever let lost sheep stay with lies that you've left behind; 
O-n the twenty-fifth of January, spread the last hope of mankind....

I love these church tunes,
When I chant it, I feel as high as the moon.
I understand this meaning,
For my soul lacks the cleaning.

I have gone astray like a lost sheep,
I have gone in the deep,
With this beautiful praise,
I'm just in this certain phase.

Praising is like prayer,
Which has lots of layers.
Seek your servant,
It's great to chant it where it's fervant....

I can’t smile
When my heart is sorrowful

I can’t help
When my mind is vague

I can’t dream
When my life is vissionless

Oh! my creator
When will my heart be happy?

Oh! my God
When will my mind be hopefully filled?

Oh! my diviner
When will my life be alive?

May be, 
When my lost sheep is returned to me
Safely and alive

Then I smile
And my heart is happy....

I was but a little lost sheep,
who laid down by the river to sleep.
My Shepherd walked across the water,
to rescue me for keeps.

He picked me up when I faltered,
and washed my sins away.
He made me white as snow,
with the blood He freely gave.

He is more precious than gold,
for He died on the cross for my salvation,
so that I may bow before God
in humble adoration.

Before I'll be going to sleep
without hearing the seagulls shriek,
let me pray and be truly meek:
asking my Lord not to be weak...
trusting the calmness of the deep.
And should I stray like a lost sheep,
I will not fear the waves beneath;
closer to Heaven, where stars peak,
this captain won't abandon his fleet...
should danger foretell a defeat!
