“I left the others in the open country
And I searched the land high and low 
But I was never going to stop 
til I found you, til I found you”

 

There was a shepherd with a hundred sheep
And he counted them all the time
Until one day when his counting was complete
There was only 99

 

He left the others in the open country
And he searched the land high and low
He said “I’m not going to stop 
til I find you, til I find you”

 

He searched the tops of mountains
And he searched by the rivers too
And when he found the sheep again
He said “I’m glad that I found you”

 

“I left the others in the open country
And I searched the land high and low 
But I was never going to stop 
til I found you, til I found you”

 

He put the sheep over his shoulders
And he walked home joyfully
Then called his friends and neighbors
And said “come, rejoice with me”

 

“I left the others in the open country
And I searched the land high and low 
But I was never going to stop 
til I found you, til I found you, til I found you”
