I wandered far from

The fold where I was safe

It wasn't long until I found I'd lost my way

I cried with fear as the night began to fall

One more lost lamb but I heard the shepherd's call

He saw my steps as

They walked right into the dark

Though I went astray

I never once left his heart

That night long ago how I still recall

When I lost my way then

I heard the shepherd's call

He left the fold to

Search out one that strayed

Left ninety-nine for

There was one to be saved

There on that ledge

One step would have ended all

I felt a hand and I heard the shepherd's call

He saw my steps as they walked right into the dark

Though I went astray I never once left his heart

That night long ago how I still recall

When I lost my way then

I heard the shepherd's call

That night long ago how I still recall

When I lost my way then

I heard the shepherd's call
