G                       C           Am
Out in the darkness of hillsides so steep
     D7                C           G
The shepherd so lovingly watches His sheep
                               C           Am
And standing His guard, He is troubled to find
  D7                                    G
Instead of one hundred, just ninety and nine


[Chorus]
    C
So over the mountains and ledges He climbs
  G
Aware of the dangers but determined to find
    A7
The one He is seeking with all of His might
    D7
The wayfaring lamb, who is lost in the night
    G
As long as I live, I will not understand
      D7                                  G
The love of the Shepherd in search of the lamb


[Verse 2]
    G                       C           Am
So listen to someone who's been in the cold
  D                  C            G
Wandering aimlessly far from the fold
                                 C          Am
No mountain's too steep and no valley's too far
         D7                                    G
For the Shepherd who loves you with all of His heart


[Chorus]
    C
So over the mountains and ledges He climbs
  G
Aware of the dangers but determined to find
     A7   
The one He is seeking with all of His might
    D7
The wayfaring lamb, who is lost in the night
    G
As long as I live, I will not understand
     D7                                  G
The love of the Shepherd in search of the lamb
