I Was A Wandering Sheep

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 500 hymnals Topics: The Way of Salvation Salvation by Grace; Backsliding; Christ Shepherd; Evangelistic; Forgiveness of Sins; Love For Christ of God Lyrics: 1 I was a wand'ring sheep, I did not love the fold; I did not love my Shepherd's voice, I would not be controlled. I was a wayward child, I did not love my home; I did not love my Father's voice, I loved afar to roam. 2 The Shepherd sought his sheep, the Father sought his child; they followed me o'er vale and hill, o'er deserts waste and wild: they found me nigh to death, famished and faint and lone; they bound me with the bands of love, they saved the wand'ring one. 3 Jesus my Shepherd is; 'twas he that loved my soul, 'twas he that washed me in his blood, 'twas he that made me whole; 'twas he that sought the lost, that found the wand'ring sheep, 'twas he that brought me to the fold, 'tis he that still doth keep. 4 I was a wand'ring sheep, I would not be controlled; but now I love my Shepherd's voice, I love, I love the fold. I was a wayward child, I once preferred to roam; but now I love my Father's voice, I love, I love his home. Scripture: Isaiah 53:6 Used With Tune: LEBANON
