"You Left The 99 (4 Chords And The Truth)"

Intro
I will sing of the mercies of the Lord for ever
With my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.

This is my story...

Verse 1
Broken in pieces on the floor
How have I gone so far astray
Don't want to live like this anymore
I got on my knees and I prayed
In the darkness with tears in my eyes
I said the sinner's prayer
Oh and that's when I realized
Right then and right there

Chorus
You left the 99
Oh and You went to find
This lost and wandering one
This lost and wandering one
You left the 99
Oh and You went to find
This lost and wandering one
This lost and wandering one
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Verse 2
Deep within me was this hole
Nothing this world could ever fill
So many scars put upon my soul
Only Jesus could ever heal
Somewhere in all my wretchedness
Amongst all the lies and the shame
Like that lost sheep in the wilderness
The Shepherd's voice it called my name

Chorus
You left the 99
Oh and You went to find
This lost and wandering one
This lost and wandering one
You left the 99
Oh and You went to find
This lost and wandering one
This lost and wandering one
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Bridge
If you were one of the lost and wandering ones
Would you sing a couple Hallelujah's with me?

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Chorus
You left the 99
Oh and You went to find
This lost and wandering one
This lost and wandering one
You left the 99
Oh and You went to find
This lost and wandering one
This lost and wandering one
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Jesus

Sheep are unjustly criticized for their flock mentality,
but God created them with an instinct to stick together as a means of survival.
That instinct allows the lambs to flourish.
Even sheep that are introduced to a new flock will follow the other sheep
until they too recognize the shepherd.

Beautiful song, and a gorgeous arrangements. I'd bring up the vocals in the intro a tad, dunno how the rest of you feel, but this is a real keeper

Man, I just absolutely love your voice! I agree it could be up a little in the mix, not too much though. Maybe 2db or so.

Good song, enjoyed very much.

Bawb,

Another well-written song. And a good BAND to carry it.

(a bit long for my attention span)

All your vocals are awesome (I agree it could come up in the mix just slightly)

Good stuff.

Super vocal and loved the acoustic. Very pretty song. Really kicks in nice after the intro
