Now let us begin a story of three And ask yourself, which one is me. The first is about a sheep gone missing The Shepherd led, but it wasn't listening As the Shepherd's voice got further away The sheep got distracted and went astray The sheep was in the wilderness and all alone Where o where is the Shepherd's tone It never intended to get so distracted Now there's consequences to the way it acted Fear and doubt welled up inside Now it looks for a place to hide It wandered away from the Shepherds care And now got caught in the devil's snare Trembling and shaking, it's a panic attack It knows it's lost, but not how to get back Is this the end for the poor little fellow He starts to cry and lets out a bellow Back at the Shepherd who's counting His sheep Ninety-eight, ninety-nine...He jumps up with a leap. One has gone missing, it's not with the rest Apart from Me, how can it be blessed What will He do, there's no need to guess He leaves the ninety-nine in the wilderness The Shepherd takes off in a full sprint run Out in search for the lost little one

About the Book
Now let us begin a story of three, And ask yourself, Which one is me? The first is about a sheep gone missing. The Shepherd led, but it wasn’t listening. After the Pharisees accused Jesus of eating with sinners and tax collectors, He responded by telling three parables that contain timeless lessons. In the first of three inspirational poems, Daniel Cramton explores the first parable that details a sheep gone missing and the feelings that accompanied the consequences of disobedience, and then the response of the Shepherd who showed grace, mercy and kindness. Throughout his inaugural poem, Cramton brings to light the character of God and how He deals with sinners and treats those who have made mistakes. Seeking the Lost: Sheep is a rhyming poem that conveys deep biblical truths that children can understand while lyrically exploring the first of three parables.
