Would Jesus Christ have come down from His throne above
To come die for just you? (ooh ooh ooh)
Well, if a sheep in His flock is wanderin' off, He'll find
And get you like good shepherds do
Well, you'll find in Scripture, He's real efficient
At catchin' sheep (at catchin' sheep)
And though it's strange to suggest
We're like fish in His nets, we're lives He rescued
He'll hold a soiree when He finds where you are, eh?
But that don't mean He'll just let you there
You could be next door, or on a safari
But on the day you pray He'll pay your fare
Like Pepé Le Pew â nobody wanted you
(Although we was both stinkers, His love still grows bigger)
Oooh! When God's son chooses you
Yeah, go on, and tell me you ain't a bit important
Would Jesus Christ have come down from His throne above
To come die for just you? (ooh ooh ooh)
Well, if a sheep in His flock is wanderin' off, He'll find
And get you like good shepherds do
Well, you'll find in Scripture, He's real efficient
At catchin' sheep (at catchin' sheep)
And though it's strange to suggest
We're like fish in His nets, we're lives He rescued
Well, I know it's hard to swallow
But, babe, He's skilled at findin' sheep
Christ can reach ya, Christ can keep ya
'Cause Jesus' love is everlasting deep
Like Pepé Le Pew â nobody wanted you
(Although we was both stinkers, His love still grows bigger)
Oooh! So what's your new excuse?
Oooh! I really hate to ask right now
Would Jesus Christ have come down from His throne above
To come die for just you? (ooh ooh ooh)
Well, if a sheep in His flock is wanderin' off, He'll find
And get you like good shepherds do
Well, you'll find in Scripture, He's real efficient
At catchin' sheep (at catchin' sheep)
And though it's strange to suggest
We're like fish in His nets, we're lives He rescued
Amazing grace that saved me I was blind and such a jerk and so bad
(So bad, so bad, so bad)
When I was still a prodigal, He told me, kid, don't run from your Dad
(Your Dad, Your Dad, Your Dad)
Like uh -- Why? (uh) Why? (uh) Why evade Him?
(Uh) He loves you! (Uh) He still loves you!
Would Jesus Christ have come down from His throne above
To come die for just you? (ooh ooh ooh)
Well, if a sheep in His flock is wanderin' off, He'll find
And get you like good shepherds do
Well, you'll find in Scripture, He's real efficient
At catchin' sheep (at catchin' sheep)
And though it's strange to suggest
We're like fish in His nets, we're lives He rescued
Luke 15: 4
Suppose
one
of
you
has
a
hundred
sheep
and
loses
one
of
them.
Does
he
not
leave
the
ninety-nine
in
the
open
country
and
go
after
the
lost
sheep
until
he
finds
it?
