Home Again lyrics

I was wandering lines in the fading light Losing my way to the shadows of night Away from the valley, away from the fold Straying too far in the bitter and cold I forgot the sound of the Shepherd's voice Trading His peace for a foolish choice But You don't stay where it's safe and warm When one of Your own is caught in the storm You count the flock and You know the cost You won't sit still while a soul is lost You left the ninety-nine on the mountainside To search through the dark where the broken hide No valley too deep, no thicket too torn You carried my shame and You bore my thorn And You placed me high on Your shoulders of grace Oh, there's no love like Your embrace! I heard Your call echoing through the rain Stepping through briars to quiet my pain You didn't bring anger, You didn't bring blame You just reached down and You called my name You lifted me up from the edge of the grave The Good Shepherd who is mighty to save You left the ninety-nine on the mountainside To search through the dark where the broken hide No valley too deep, no thicket too torn You carried my shame and You bore my thorn And You placed me high on Your shoulders of grace Oh, there's no love like Your embrace! And the heavens are singing! The angels rejoice! A sinner came home at the sound of Your voice! More joy in the skies for the one who was found Than the ninety-nine standing on solid ground! Oh, hear the celebration start For the rescue of a broken heart! You left the ninety-nine on the mountainside To search through the dark where the broken hide No valley too deep, no thicket too torn You carried my shame and You bore my thorn And You placed me high on Your shoulders of grace Oh, there's no love like Your embrace!
