Black Sheep
Lord, we are your black sheep,
fringe of your flock,
traversing untroden paths,
uncertain stone and rock,
not in sweet grass to lie,
strong under stormy sky.

Lord, we are your black sheep
divergent dreamers, seekers,
non-compliant, often defiant,
“Spirit-led” by wind to roam
forever reliant
on Your call home.
