He Layeth Me on His Shoulders

leave a comment »

Under a terebinth tree I listened
As Jesus of Galilee drew me near
He taught as one with authority and love
His word nourished my lost and weary soul
The Scribes and Pharisees scoffed and accused
Thy said He receiveth sinners like me
That I was not worthy of their wisdom
Then Jesus spoke to them a parable
Of ninety and nine and one that was lost
My soul stirred within me, A joy so complete !
The Good Shepherd layeth me on His shoulders
I was one of His lost sheep, He found me at long last !
