Lyrics:
Lost and Found
Tune: BEACH SPRING 8.7.8.7 D (“Lord, Whose Love Through Humble Service”)
Text: Anna Strickland, 2024
Music: B. F. White (1844)
In the flock I am surrounded
By my siblings and my friends
Safe at home and feeling grounded
With my shepherd to defend
But an aching, longing feeling
As the stars shine late at night
Draws me in, my dreams revealing
And I know I’m not quite right
The horizon starts to brighten
As I quietly slip away
I can feel my spirit lighten
With each cautious step I take
Unfamiliar paths unfolding
As excitement blends with fear
All creation now enfolds me
Like the flock I hold so dear
As I wander down the quarry
A familiar voice cries out
It’s my shepherd searching for me
Reckless love has tracked me down
Though I left my place of refuge
He has followed all along
But I had to lose myself to
Find myself where I belong
