Leaving the 99...

Sinner, pause for just a moment,

and let the truth sink in;

He will leave ninety- nine in the desert,

to follow the trail of your sin...

Did your sin entice you to wander?

to slink away from the flock;

did it hurl you into the canyon?

make you lose your grip on the rock...

Can you hold on a moment longer?

Christ is coming to carry you home;

He will set you high on His shoulders,

you don't have to be out there alone...

Sinner, weep for love so tender;

grace abundant and mercy free;

there will be much rejoicing in heaven,

for the one was found you see...
