Speirosmusic - Poor Lost Sheep Lyrics
1)“These sheep are so dumb” said the shearer to me“They don't keep in place where I want them to be.”He struck at their head, and reefed them up nearAnd after the shearing they ran off in fear.I thought of the drover and his choice of mindWith dogs and a stick he propels from behind.He drives them to fields where he wants them to beThe objects of meat and wool sold for a fee.Ch x 2)Poor lost sheep they don't know which wayThey're born in a world which revolves around payFor all their existence exploited each dayThen loaded on stock crates and carted away.2)Before he was king, he shepherded sheepHis life on the line for their lives to keepAnd when I think deeply tears roll down my cheekFor braveness in silence, King David was meekHe fought off the lion, and snatched from it's teethHis sheer aim and focus was care for his sheepHe took on the bear, and the bear he did slayAnd peaceful their sleep when at night time they'd lay.Ch x 2)Poor lost sheep, they wouldn't have knownA way to protect themselves from the unknownBut David he shepherded them brought them all homeSo none of them wandered, abandoned alone.3)Now Jesus he came at his father's requestTo die for the worst of us, God sent his best.He looked all around at the mass of mankindThe words were recorded of what he did find.Ch)“Sheep without shepherd, skinned, tossed about”Extorting lenders his whip drove them outMisusing God's temple to fleece off the sheepBut all God's commandment's he'd carefully keep.Poor lost sheep, our saviour's here.He's paid with his blood such a high price, so dear.The lamb that was sacrificed paid for our sinsAnd life everlasting for us it can bring.Poor lost sheep, just follow in kindA load off your shoulders, refreshment you'll findHe's broken the abattoir gates for all timeListen and life-everlasting you'll find.
