Like Sheep Poem by Boston Kelley

My God, I have gone so far.
Oh, look at how far I've wandered!
I once was so close to you,
I was enveloped in Your Presence,
But now I stand on the opposite
End of the canyon.

Like sheep, we all have gone astray.
We've all wandered from the truth,
Taking pleasure in immoral things.
Willingly, I have walked away from You.
I have ignored Your voice and disregarded
Your commands.

When one sheep wanders off,
You leave the ninety-nine and
Chase after it.
Yet, as you chase me, the further
I wander away.

How can I find my way back to you?
How can I turn back to you and
Away from my wicked ways?
How do I come back to you
When these temptations
Seem so sweet?
