Jesus asked His disciples,

What did they have to say,

Of a man who had a hundred sheep,

And one went astray.

Won’t that man not go after

The stray at any cost?

Won’t he leave the ninety-nine,

To find the one that’s lost?

And if he finds the sheep that’s lost,

He rejoices more that day,

Than over the ninety-nine

That stayed and never strayed.

In the same way our Father,

When all is said and done,

Does not want to lose,

His precious little ones.

Dear Jesus, now go after

Our loved ones gone astray.

Go to where they’ve wandered,

Heal their wounds today.

Tell them of Your truths,

Let them hear what You have to say.

Dear Jesus, leave the ninety-nine,

Bring back loved ones who’ve strayed.

(Based on Matt.18:12-14)
