I ONCE WAS LOST !

Carl Hatter

Pastoral
IN  THIS  FINAL  HOUR  THIS  TASK  I  MUST  KEEP,   JUST  AS  JESUS  COMMANDED
I  MUST  SEARCH  FOR  LOST  SHEEP.
I  MUST  CONTINUE  THIS  RACE  UNTIL  IT  IS  DONE,
HAD  IT  NOT  BEEN  FOR  JESUS  I  WOULD  STILL  BE JUST  AS  THE  PRODIGAL  SON.
BECAUSE  LIKE  SO  MANY  OTHERS  I  WENT  ASTRAY,
BUT  GLORY  TO  JESUS! HE  CLEANSED  MY  INIQUITIES  THE  MOMENT  I  PRAYED!!!!.
