"And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This Man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them. And He spake this parable to them, saying... Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost... for I have found the piece which I had lost... Let us eat, and be merry, for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found" (Luke 15:1-24).
This Man receives and eats with sinners;
How true we find this claim!
This Man turns losers into winners;
Christ Jesus is His name!
Like a sheep a shepherd lost
(All we have gone astray),
He knew the suffering and the cost,
And sought us anyway.
Like a coin you lost, and thus
You searched for all around,
Just so the Lord has likened us,
Rejoicing when we're found.
Like a lost son left to roam,
Regretting then his choice,
Jesus woos the sinner home,
And calls us to rejoice!
