One Of The Ninety And Nine
I am one of the ninety and nine, I'm not perfect, but basically I'm doing fine. I have not lost my way, I have not gone a stray, I'm just one of the ninety and nine. I am here in the heart of the fold, I'm not mindless, but I try to do as I'm told. I'm not tempted to run and become the lost, I am here in the heart of the fold. So why is my Shepherd coming this way toward me? He's holding his arms out and he's callin' my name, yes he's callin' my name, but how, how could this be? I'm just one of the ninety and nine, I have stumbled and fallen, but I've kept in line. I'm not one He must seek, I'm not all that unique, I'm just one of the ninety and nine. So why is my Shepherd treating me like a lost lamb? He searching to find me, and he's holding me now, yes he's holding me now, and teaching me who I am. So why am I feeling like I'm the only one here? It's like I'm his favorite and he takes me aside, and he sweetly confides, these remarkable words in my ear, "You are one of the ninety and nine, have you any idea how brightly you shine? You are safe in this fold, and it's time you were told, that I know where you've been, so I know where you'll be, because all of your life you've been following Me, you are more then just one of the sands of the sea, or just one of the ninety and nine. You are mine, you are mine, you are mine, you are MINE!" I am on of the ninety and nine.

Good one!
Great job - that was really touching. I love the message of that song!
Wow, I must have caught you on a serious day! Here's one I like:
"I will search for the lost and bring back the strays. I will bind up the injured and strengthen the weak..."Ezek 34:16
I love it, Christie! That's beautiful. I am still trying to think of my six words. It's hard, but you made it look easy.
I'm so glad my makeup is already off because this made me cry. Thinking of friends who have gone astray, this really hit me. I've never heard it before. It's going to be used in our FHE next week, so I can share it with my kids. Thanks for such a great message.
ok, Christie..I need more rules, I guess...I'm having a heck of a time finding something to come up with...like..a saying or something that's meaningful to me..in six words? help! :)
I love this, Christie!
