His Wayward Sheep

Our Lord has come and found His wayward sheep
That wandered and in thicket’s sin was caught.
Left to ourselves our fate would be death’s sleep,
But He came and each sheep that’s lost He sought.

In world outside of thicket each one finds
The place where he was always meant to be–
A place unique that’s ever in God’s mind
Where each will be content, at last be free.

For thicket’s sin is always make believe—
A world that’s false and can’t forever be—
For we in sinful heart cannot conceive
What it is like to be from thicket free.

He comes for each of us, and we are found,
For in His voice we hear salvation’s sound.
