for this one sinner – v3

God’s message consistent
in the parables, the stories,
in Christ’s choice,
a glimpse of the Kingdom
spending time with one sinner;
Christ saving him from the lost

a lost coin, a wayward sheep,
many Prodigal children
so many wandering, lost;
God spends His time on each of them
for there is more joy in heaven
when one who has been lost is found

when one is gathered in
added to the flock
for this one sinner joy above
for he will truly live
in the arms of the Lord;
what a precious gift
