ANTHEM: Where Is My Lamb? by Charles McCartha
Where is my lamb, little one lost? Where are you hiding? Where have you gone? O precious lamb of mine, once with the ninety-nine, now you have wandered away from the fold, out in the cold. I’ll leave the flock behind. Wait here, my ninety-nine. Storm clouds are rising and night is at hand; I must find my lamb. I’m the Good Shepherd, who cares for the sheep. Never forsaking you, I will not sleep. I will search everywhere, chase the wolf, fight the bear. Through thorns and danger, I’ll lay down my life! Answer my cry! There is my lamb, little one found, caught in the brambles, helplessly bound, hungry and quivering, in the cold shivering. Don’t cry, my little one, the wolf ran away; now you are safe. Come, precious lamb of mine, let’s join the ninety-nine. See, I have washed you much whiter than fresh fallen snow. Here in your Shepherd’s arms, you are home. Now you are home. [Julie I Myers based on Matthew 18:12-14; John 10; Psalm 51:7, Isaiah 40:11; and Ezekiel 34:11-12]
