[Verse 1]
GI wandered far from the fold where I was Csafe
It wasn't loD7ng till CI found I'd lost my Gway
I cried with fear as the night began to Cfall
One more lost D7lamb but I heard the Shepherd's Gcall
[Chorus]
He saw my steps as they walked right into the Cdark
Though I went D7astray I never once left His Gheart
That night long ago how I still Crecall
When I lost my D7way I heard the Shepherd's Gcall
[Verse 2]
He left the fold to search out one that Cstrayed
Left ninety D7nine for Cthere was one to be Gsaved
There on that ledge one step would have ended it Call
But I felt a D7hand and I heard the Shepherd's Gcall
[Chorus]
He saw my steps as they walked right into the Cdark
Though I went D7astray I never once left His Gheart
That night long ago how I still Crecall
When I lost my D7way I heard the Shepherd's Gcall
Ending
That night long ago how I still Crecall
When I lost my D7way I heard the Shepherd's Gcall

[Verse 1]

G C

I wandered far from the fold where I was safe

D7 C G

It wasn't long till I found I'd lost my way

I cried with fear as the night began to fall

D7 G

One more lost lamb but I heard the Shepherd's call

[Chorus]

He saw my steps as they walked right into the dark

D7 G

Though I went astray I never once left His heart

That night long ago how I still recall

D7 G

When I lost my way I heard the Shepherd's call

[Verse 2]

He left the fold to search out one that strayed

D7 C G

Left ninety nine for there was one to be saved

There on that ledge one step would have ended it all

D7 G

But I felt a hand and I heard the Shepherd's call

[Chorus]

He saw my steps as they walked right into the dark

D7 G

Though I went astray I never once left His heart

That night long ago how I still recall

D7 G

When I lost my way I heard the Shepherd's call

Ending

That night long ago how I still recall

D7 G

When I lost my way I heard the Shepherd's call
