Come Back, Little Lamb - Lyrics

Verse 1: All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned to our own way, And the Lord hath laid on Him, all of our sin. And now Jesus says: “Come back, little lamb, return to the fold. In the end you won’t want to be out there, you will find it too rough and cold. When it was daytime, you left me to go play around. When the night came, unseen dangers were lurking about. I will lead you away from this dangerous place. I will feed you, and close to Me you shall be safe. Even if you are just so used to it here, I can still take you home, lead you all the way there.” Verse 2: Israel slideth back as a backsliding heifer: Now the Lord will feed them as a lamb in a large place. And now Jesus says: “Come back, little lamb, return to the fold. You thought that you were close enough, so you slowly lost your hold. In your weakness, you thought you could trust in your strength. There were thorns where I led you, so you wandered away. I’m your Shepherd, I offer the land that is best. Through My word I will feed you, and I will give you rest. If you still feel that with Me your soul is at strife, Just know I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Verse 3: Know ye that the Lord is God, it is He that has made us, And not we ourselves; we are His sheep. And now Jesus says: “Come back, little lamb, return to the fold. Have you been without Me long enough? Are your own ways getting old? Do not feel you are hopeless, I want you to be strong. No matter what you go through, your Maker is God. Even if you may feel that your heart is too cold, I will heal you and lead you back into the fold. If you go where I lead, you can never go wrong. Take My yoke upon you, and you will overcome.
