Grant Udellis > Lyrics

NINETY-NINE (Luke 15:4-7) There You were standing at the door / Love in human form / You said You'd come to take me home / Scared and alone - Waiting for the light of day / This soul had lost its way like so many You have known / The one who once ran from every trace of You was the very one You chose to pursue / CHORUS: You left the ninety-nine on a night black as could be / You left the ninety-nine, O Lord / You left the ninety-nine for one soul that was in need / You left the ninety-nine so You could rescue me / There are times I can't keep up the fight / I hurt with all my might / If I try I couldn't hurt anymore / Days like these my flesh longs to stray - Turn and go my way / I could run away just like before / Help me believe You'll never let me fall / Hold me ever closer Lord until I recall / CHORUS / You rescued me / To save my life You didn't count the cost / For You came to seek and save that which was lost / Not for the "righteous" or those who claim to see / Lord, I know You came for every sinner just like me / CHORUS / You rescued me / © 1998 Zion Records (BMI, SOCAN) / © 2000 Shawn Sibley (SOCAN) / Music by: Grant Udellis & Shawn Sibley / Lyrics by: Grant Udellis / Arrangement by: Shawn Sibley.
