I'M THE LAMB THAT THE SHEPHERD LEFT THE FLOCK FOR

So many times I strayed away from Jesus

As a lamb that leaves the flock without a care

And the time soon came when I'd gone too far and stumbled

And the more I tried the more I'd lose my way.

I'm the lamb that the Shepherd left the flock for

I was out in the cold all alone

So in need when Jesus found me

He put His arms around me

And I'll never be alone anymore

Now I tried to climb the mountains of this life and failed

I was thinking of myself and my own gain

But the Shepherd came and found me on the cliffs of sin

From that moment, life has never been the same

I'm the lamb that the Shepherd left the flock for

I was out in the cold all alone

So in need when Jesus found me

He put His arms around me

And I'll never be alone anymore

Now I'm back where I belong and I'm so happy

I can hear The Shepherd's voice all the time

I will follow in the path where He may lead me

For The Shepherd, Jesus, is a friend of mine

I'm the lamb that the Shepherd left the flock for

I was out in the cold all alone

So in need when Jesus found me

He put His arms around me

And I'll never be alone anymore

(as recorded by The Booth Brothers)
