(1st Verse)

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 Shepherds call.



(Chorus)

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 Shepherds call.



(2nd Verse)

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 Shepherds Call.
