~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Shepherd knows each lost sheep; He seeks those gone astray.
God understands our heartache when a child wanders away.
For the Son of man is come to save that which is lost,
and He rejoices with us when they come to the cross.
~
There is joy in the presence of the angels of God.
A sinner has repented; let's make merry and be glad.
For this, my son was dead, and is alive again.
He was lost, and is found; I've received him safe and sound.
~
Except the Father draw him, he'll not come to the Son.
God hears the prayers of mothers weeping for a lost loved one.
For the Lord is merciful, He is gracious t'ward us,
and He is never willing that any should perish.

For this my son was dead,, and is alive again.
He was lost and is found; I've received him safe and sound.

He was lost and is found; I've received him safe and sound.

I Haven't been over in a while.The story is such a blessing. To know that the Father always has His arms outstretched to welcome the erring home. He is always right where we left Him. I love the looks and sounds on your blog. connie
ReplyDeleteI knew there was a reason I needed to read through everyone's blogs tonight, just the message I needed, things have been really "rough" and i needed this little reminder
ReplyDeleteHello Deborah~ I have been absent from blogging for quite a qhile and tonight I thought I would drop by and this was the post I found. Those words are so comforting and so true. We have a prodigal and praying for her to turn her heart toward the Lord again. I do hope you have been well. It will be so nice to catch up again. Sending blessings to you and yours from me and mine, Sandra in New Zealand
