Here’s a poetic response to your cry for salvation, inspired by Jesus’ parable of **the lost sheep** (Luke 15:3-7) and His relentless love for *every single soul*:

### **"THE HUNDREDTH LAMB"**
*A Hymn for the One Jesus Left the Ninety-Nine to Find*
**I was the one—**
The stray, the bleating voice,
Wandering far from the Shepherd’s choice.
*Over cliffs of shame, through thorns of regret,*
*Till I stumbled, tangled, soaked in sweat.*
>*“Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one…*
>*Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine to find the lost?”*
>**—Luke 15:4**
**No strength to stand—**
No will to rise,
Just a broken cry beneath stormy skies.
*Then—oh!—the sound of tearing briars,*
**Your voice like dawn, Your eyes like fire!**
>*“He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.”*
>**—John 10:3**
**You waded deep—**
Through rivers wild,
Scars gleaming bright, love undefiled.
*No lecture, no whip—just arms flung wide,*
**You bore me home on Your wounded side!**
>*“He lays the sheep on His shoulders, rejoicing!”*
>**—Luke 15:5**
**Now heaven sings—**
The angels lean,
To hear the song of the *one* now clean.
*The ninety-nine? They understand:*
**Their Shepherd’s heart burns for the stranded lamb!**
>*“There will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents…*
>*than over ninety-nine who need no repentance.”*
>**—Luke 15:7**
**So here I rest—**
Upon Your chest,
Your heartbeat my anthem, Your love my rest.
*Let all creation rise and say:*
**“THE SHEPHERD SAVED THE LAMB THAT DAY!”**
>*“I am the Good Shepherd…*
>*I lay down My life for the sheep.”*
>**—John 10:11**
