This is about a metaphor... paraphrased... some allegories how I came to know the grace... a symbolic picture of shearing of my wools... and how the game got new rules...
I`m abandoned, hurt and sore My skin is ripped by the cutting thorns I`m everybody`s cheap laughing stock A spitting cup, just listen how they mock My flock scattered, fell on the rocks Shocked, shattered, fold`s door locked Is there justice for a poor For a lowly, for a whore Who`s there to... search for the lost Bind up the injured Who`s there to... Strengthen the weak Destroy the strong and sleek
I try to understand what freedom is Surely it`s something far from this I`m longing for a warm embrace Erase the ache in a healing place
Great is the pain that I got to face Yet the pure rain`ll wipe off the disdain I hate the rams, way they did treat me As a lamb, they bruised me too deeply
Maybe life`s here to put me down neatly But the strife and fear crush me completely They muddied the clean water, trampled the green lawn Butting me with their horns
I called out, for shelter I called Now they`re warned that You`re the Lord Yes He broke the bars of my yoke Made a joke out of the goats
He`s there to Search for the lost Bind up the injured He`s there to Strengthen the weak Destroy the strong and sleek
I`ll be taken to rich pastures On the mountains of plenty In clear water valleys By the grazing lands of mercy
For the Lord is my Shepherd I shall not faint Jesus came to dye white all the black sheep
