Reaching Out


A friend of mine was led astray
    Into a world of sin.
I heard the voice of Jesus say,
    "Go bring the wanderer in."

A brother of mine into error fell
    His soul was bound by sin.
I heard the voice of Jesus say,
    "You must become his friend."

A sister of mine had strayed away
    Her mind deceived by sin.
I heard the voice of Jesus say,
    "Now show your love again."

So I reached out with caring heart.
    I prayed, I talked, I shared.
Through me the lost sheep was found
    And knew that Jesus cared.

I knew all heaven did rejoice
    When I brought the lost sheep in.
A soul so precious to the Lord
    Now saved from shame and sin.

I'm very sure that one glad day
    I'll walk the streets above
Among friends and loved ones safe at last,
    With whom I shared God's love.
