Lyrics:

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 one that strayed
Left ninety-nine for there was one to be saved
There on that ledge one step would have ended all
I felt a hand and I heard the shepherd's call
