Verse 1
I walked away with dust on my feet,
Chasing empty roads that promised peace.
Thought I’d find my heart somewhere out there,
But every mile just led nowhere.
The weight of shame became my name,
I couldn’t wash away the stain.
I whispered, “Lord, I’ve gone too far…”
Not knowing You knew where I was.
Pre-Chorus
When I thought Heaven had forgotten,
I heard mercy call my name.
Chorus
I was that one…
The one who wandered far away.
I was that one…
Certain I was too late.
But You left the ninety-nine behind,
Walked through the darkness just to find
A heart that couldn’t find its way back home.
You picked me up when I was weak,
Spoke the words my soul still needs.
You carried me where I could never go…
I was that one…
And You never let me go.
Verse 2
I searched for love in broken dreams,
Built my life on temporary things.
Nothing filled the empty space,
Nothing looked like Amazing Grace.
Every step away from You
Only proved Your love was true.
You never stopped pursuing me;
You saw the child beneath the shame.
Bridge
I don’t have to earn Your love.
I don’t have to clean these hands.
You already paid the price
Before I’d understand.
Your mercy runs farther
Than I could ever fall.
The Shepherd never quits
Until He finds us all.
Final Chorus
There is that one…
Who’s wondering if they’re too far gone.
There is that one…
Who’s barely holding on.
If that’s you, just hear His voice.
Love is reaching through the noise.
You don’t have to walk this road alone.
He leaves the ninety-nine behind,
Just to find your heart tonight.
He’ll place you on His shoulders and bring you home.
You are that one…
The Shepherd’s been searching all along.
Outro
He never left you.
He never forsook you.
You don’t have to find your way back…
Just let Him carry you home.
