So, what saves us is our faithCertainly, not colour trait.Then the sheep of any kindMust be saved, not left behind. No matter what lane they take.As long as it is not fake. Since some sheep can go astrayAs they choose the wide bad wayWe may be, seen as black sheep.As close to sinners, we creep.But Jesus did just the sameRedeeming them, of useless fameStrictly speaking, digging deepWe can know, who is black sheep.Those whose wool, yield “lukewarming”.Despite, the Lord’s clear warning.
Black sheep, have you any wool?Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full.For my master and my dame,And for children in the lane.If others you tend to blockYou’re the black sheep of the flock.Black wool was not desired.Like people less admiredJesus came to seek lost sheep.To guard their eternal sleepTheir salvation in His mindSo together they will bind.Even sought those who were lame.Be it master or a dame. To forgive them of their shameAs they praise His Holy name
