‘Twas a sheep, not a lamb, that strayed away, In the parable Jesus told; A grown-up sheep that had gone astray, From the ninety and nine in the fold. Out on the hillside, out in the cold, ‘Twas a sheep the Good Shepherd sought; And back to the flock, safe into the fold, ‘Twas a sheep the Good Shepherd brought. And why for the sheep should we earnestly long, And as fervently hope and pray? Because there is danger, if they go wrong, They will lead the lambs astray. And so with the sheep we tenderly plead, For the sake of the lambs today; If the sheep are lost, what terrible cost, Some lambs will have to pay!
If you’ve lost your way, “...arise and go to my father, and will [YOU] say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,””(Luke 15:18)

Great post, other verses that would go with it..
Psalm 51:3-4 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest
Love in Christ, Nita

I love that Poem, I am thankful for a shepherd who knows how to tend to His flock. Who risks life and limb to rescue His sheep which have gone astray. The sheep which can never be plucked out from is Hand, because He knows that he/she is in the hands of the most faitfhul of all shepherds.
John 10:11 - I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
God Bless!

reminds of a line in a hymn, "prone to wander, Lord I know it, prone to leave the one I love. Take my heart, O take and seal it, seal it for the courts above."
think that is how it goes.
"Oh Thou Font of Many Blessings"
