THE SHEPHERD AND THE LOST SHEEP.

Wandering in the wilderness

Weak, worn-out and worried

Walking in where there is no way

Gone astray from the Way

Moving towards the domain

Where death reigns as king

Besieged by the beasts of the wild

Wild wicked wolves, seeking 

To devour lost wandering 

And wearied sheep,

Groping in confusion

Seeking for the Way

Which leads to the Truth

Where there is the Life

Then roars the Lion,

The king of the wild,

The wild wolves wailed and withdrew

The lost sheep wondered and

Withered, hid itself in a pit

That had no water within

Without any wave of hope

The wind of hope walked into

The waterless pit, with

Its out-stretched arms and

Took hold of the lost...wearied sheep

The sheep wondered;

 Can the Lion spare the sheep?

Then the silent whisper:

I am the Good Shepherd

And Prince of Life,

Seeking for my lost sheep

I became the lion, to save you

From the wild wicked wolves;

Now follow me, because:

I am the Way, you seek

That leads to the Truth

Where there is the Life!
