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 that one that strayed
Left ninety-nine
For there was one to be saved
There on that ledge
One step would have ended all
But I felt the 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
