Ninety-nine in the valley lay
Safe in the warmth of the closing day
But one had wandered the broken land
Far from the reach of the shepherd's hand
He left the rest on the mountainside
Through thorn and shadow, the dark and wide
He called that name through the silent deep
'Til He found the lost and trembling sheep
Oh, what kind of love runs into the night?
Leaves the safe for the one in flight?
He carries the lost on His shoulders home
Through the wild unknown, He will not leave alone
Every tear, every scar, every broken tone
He sings it back 'til the heart has grown
Oh, the heavens ring when the lost are found
Every voice in joy resounds
For the King of love has claimed His own
And He will not rest 'til they are home
There was a house with a single flame
And a woman whispering one small name
Ten coins laid in a careful line
But one was lost to the dust of time
She swept the floor 'til the light ran low
Through every corner and shadowed row
'Til a glint of gold in the dark replied
And joy broke loose she could not hide
Oh, what kind of love lights every room?
Searches the dark where the small things loom?
He carries the lost on His shoulders home
Through the wild unknown, He will not leave alone
Every tear, every scar, every broken tone
He sings it back 'til the heart has grown
Oh, the heavens ring when the lost are found
Every voice in joy resounds
For the King of love has claimed His own
And He will not rest 'til they are home
One by one, He calls the name
Through the dust, through the ash, through the flame
Not by worth, not by gold
But a love no measure can ever hold
All of heaven leans to see
Mercy write the victory
Every soul brought back again
Glory rises without end
He carries the lost on His shoulders home
Through the wild unknown, He will not leave alone
Every tear, every scar, every broken tone
He sings it back 'til the heart has grown
Oh, the heavens ring when the lost are found
Every voice in joy resounds
For the King of love has claimed His own
And He will not rest 'til they are home
He carries the lost on His shoulders home
Through the wild unknown, He will not leave alone
Every tear, every scar, every broken tone
He sings it back 'til the heart has grown
Oh, the heavens ring when the lost are found
Every voice in joy resounds
For the King of love has claimed His own
And He will not rest 'til they are home
He carries the lost on His shoulders home
Through the wild unknown, He will not leave alone
Every tear, every scar, every broken tone
He sings it back 'til the heart has grown
Oh, the heavens ring when the lost are found
Every voice in joy resounds
For the King of love has claimed His own
And He will not rest 'til they are home
And He will not rest 'til they are home
