Carries us. 03:26 He does carry us 03:28 and He never leaves or forsakes us. 03:29 That's right. I love that. 03:30 I love that. 03:32 There's a great scripture in Matthew 18:11-13, 03:37 that talks about the shepherd, 03:42 Christ as the great shepherd who goes after the one sheep. 03:47 He has 99... 03:48 Right. 03:50 And, but He goes after the one that has gone astray. 03:54 And there's a great song that goes along with those, 03:59 I think two or three verses in the scripture, but... 04:04 Yeah, the verses are short, 04:06 but the song is very descriptive 04:07 of that whole scene. 04:09 Yeah. 04:10 It paints a great picture of Him. 04:11 It's a great picture of Christ's desire 04:13 not to even let one be lost. 04:15 Yeah. The 99. 04:20 There were ninety and nine That safely lay 04:26 In the shelter of the fold 04:32 But one was out On the hills away 04:38 Far off from the gates of gold 04:43 Away on the mountains Wild and bare 04:50 Away from the tender Shepherd's care 04:56 Away from the tender 05:01 Shepherd's care 05:05 Lord, Thou hast here The ninety and nine 05:11 Are they not enough For Thee? 05:16 But the Shepherd made answer 05:20 This of Mine Has wandered away from Me 05:27 And although The road be rough and steep 05:33 I go to the desert To find My sheep 05:40 I go to the desert To find My sheep 05:48 But none of the ransomed Ever knew 05:53 How deep were the waters That they crossed 06:02 Nor how dark was the night 06:05 That the Lord passed 06:09 Ere found His sheep That was lost 06:15 Out in the desert 06:19 He heard its cry Sick and helpless, 06:25 And ready to die 06:28 Sick and helpless, And ready to die 06:38 And all thro' the mountains, Thunder-riv'n 06:44 And up from the rocky steep 06:49 There arose a cry To the gate of heav'n 06:55 Rejoice! I have found My sheep! 07:01 And the angels echoed Around the throne 07:07 Rejoice, for the Lord Brings back His own! 07:14 Rejoice, for the Lord 07:18 Brings back His own! 07:27 That's great. 07:28 And we'll be back right after this. 07:31 So come back. |
