I’m A Sheep

 

I’m a Sheep

Lord I know why you call us sheep

We like to wander off on our own

Wanting to go left instead of right

We try to find freedom apart from You

Dumb and stupid because freedom is in You

Forgive us wandering sheep

We are so easily distracted

Shiny things draw our attention

So we walk in the wrong direction

Then saying where are You God

I can’t feel Your affection

But in our wanderings You call out

Calling us each by our own name

You chase us until we are found

Correct us so we won’t wander again

Carry us back to fold of Your people

Thank You for Your relentless pursuit

And for never ever giving up on us

Even though anybody else would have

You pour out Your grace and mercy

On pathetic self-centered sheep like us
