The Shepherd's Song Blues (Jesus Parable of the lost sheep)

** In this heartfelt blues song, "The Shepherd's Song Blues," we explore the depth and beauty of Jesus’ parable of the lost sheep, as told in the Mirror Bible. This reimagined narrative highlights the relentless love of God, the joy in restoration, and the celebration of every soul found. Drawing from the poetic and intimate language of the Mirror Bible, this song offers a soulful journey with raw blues rhythms, meaningful lyrics, and a dynamic structure. It’s more than music; it’s a call to the heart, reminding us that we are never too lost to be found.

** Original Text from the Mirror Bible:
"If any of you have a hundred sheep and one of them wanders off, would you not leave the ninety-nine in the open pasture and go after the one until you find it? And when you find it, you pick it up and carry it on your shoulders rejoicing! And when you get back home, you call all your friends and neighbors together saying, ‘Rejoice with me! I have found my lost sheep!’"

The parable is found in Luke 15:3-7 and Matthew 18:12-14

The Shepherd's Song Blues Lyrics:

Intro
[spoken over a slow, deep blues riff]
I had a hundred sheep, but I’m tellin’ you true—
(One went missin’, one went missin’)
And my heart just knew.
(I just knew, yeah, I just knew)

I left the flock standin’ there on the hill,
(Left ‘em standin’, left ‘em still)
‘Cause a lost one’s out there,
(I’m walkin’ still, I’m walkin’ still).

Verse 1
[shuffle beat with syncopation]
Through the brambles and the shadows,
I’m callin’ out your name.
(Ain’t no mountain) high enough,
(No night) too cold to tame.

Got ninety-nine behind me,
But my heart ain’t in the fold.
(You’re the one) I’m chasin’, child,
(Your name) is carved in gold.

Chorus
[slow it down, let it breathe]
(With joy on My shoulders, I carry you back)
Angels sing glory, that’s a heavenly fact!
“For the Son of Man came to seek and save,”
No soul too broken, no heart too lost to crave.

Verse 2
[switch to minor key for tension]
You been hidin’ in the canyon,
(Feelin’ small), feelin’ wrong.
But I’ve seen you in My vision,
(And I’ve held), you all along.

This ain’t a chase with anger,
This is love that won’t let go.
(Through fire), flood, and darkness,
(I’ll find you); this I know.

Chorus
[bring in a gospel choir for a call-and-response]
(With joy on My shoulders, I carry you high)
“Heaven is shakin’, the stars testify!”
“For the Son of Man came to seek and save,”
Every heart’s a treasure, every soul’s a wave.

Bridge
[spoken with rhythm over instrumental solo]
"You think you’re forgotten? Nah, I know your name.
I’ve engraved it in My hands; you’ll never leave My frame." (Isaiah 49:16)
"It’s not My Father’s will that one should be lost!" (Matthew 18:14)
"So rejoice with Me—no matter the cost!" (Luke 15:6)

Verse 3
[pick up the pace, shuffle groove]
Now, I’m carryin’ you on My back,
(Through valleys), and dusty roads.
Don’t matter where you wandered,
(I’ve erased), the heavy load.

You were lost but now you’re found,
(And heaven’s joy), explodes.
My love is a fire, child,
(Burnin’ bright), and bold.

Final Chorus
[soft and soulful, build to crescendo]
(With joy on My shoulders, I carry you back)
“The heavens rejoice, there’s no love you lack!”
“For the Son of Man came to seek and save,”
Every lost one’s found in the power of grace.

Outro
[instrumental slide guitar with spoken word]
So if you’re out there wanderin’, feelin’ too far gone,
Just know the Shepherd’s walkin’—He’s been searchin’ all along.
"I’ve loved you before, I’ll love you still,
And I’ll bring you home, that’s My will."
