🐑 I WANDERED AWAY

🐑 I WANDERED AWAY

Verse 1

I wandered away, I strayed from the fold,
The path felt wide, but my heart felt cold.
I thought I’d be fine, I thought I could roam,
But I missed Your voice… and I missed my home.

Chorus

Little Lamb says, “Jesus, please —
Come and find this lamb like me.”
I wandered far, but now I pray:
Lead me back — I’ll walk Your way.

Verse 2

I wandered away, the sky turned gray,
The joy I had just slipped away.
I called Your name, I cried alone,
But You heard my voice — and brought me home.

Chorus

Little Lamb says, “Jesus, please —
Come and find this lamb like me.”
I wandered far, but now I pray:
Lead me back — I’ll walk Your way.

Bridge

You leave the ninety‑nine behind,
To find one, for your love is kind.
You carry me with gentle grace,
And hold me in Your warm embrace.

Final Chorus

Little Lamb says, “Jesus, please —
Thank You for Your love for me.”
I wandered far, but now I stay:
Safe with you, I trust and pray

✨ “Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.”

— Lamentations 3:41 (KJV)

“Lord, here is my heart.

You see everything about me.

Your mercies are new every morning.

I lift my heart to You —

for Your help, Your guidance,

Your protection, and Your blessing.”

The Heart is a Symbol of Everything I Am and Everything I'm Not.

“Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.”
When I lift my heart up to God, I’m really saying, “Lord, here is my heart. You already see everything about me.”
Father God has every right to know all that I am, and I have trusted Him with my life. In my heart, I lift my hands to Him. I’ve learned that when I hold my heart up before Him, I’m admitting that I am undeserving — as we all are — yet His mercies are new every morning.

As I go through the motion of lifting my heart to my Daddy God, I’m asking for His mercy and protection, His guidance and His blessing, His help and His kindness, His presence and His power.
That simple motion — holding my heart up to God — reminds me that He knows everything about me. Nothing is hidden. And so I say, “Here I am, Lord. Please help me.”
