God loves the one, that doesn’t count,
God seeks the one, forgot about,
God loves the one, who’s bottomed out,
God seeks the one, who’s filled with doubt!
He bore the scorn, He wore the thorns,
He paid the cost, and now He seeks,
the one that was lost.
God loves the one, who’s too afraid,
God seeks the one, who’s been betrayed,
God loves the one, who slips away,
God seeks the one, who’s gone astray!
He bore the scorn, He wore the thorns,
He paid the cost, and now He seeks,
the one that was lost.
Rejoice for one more than the ninety-nine,
sweep the floor for just one coin to find.
Run to greet the one who’s homeward bound,
the dead and lost can be alive and found.
The Father is not willing, for any of His little ones to be lost.
God loves the one, who slips and falls,
God seeks the one, who missed the call,
God loves the one, who failed to climb,
God seeks the one, we left behind!
He bore the scorn, He wore the thorns,
He paid the cost, and now He seeks,
the one that was lost.
God loves the one, who has been lost.
God seeks the one, who has been lost.
God loves the one!
God seeks the one!
