His Black Sheep

 

Though I may be called a black sheep,
My sins have been washed clean,
For, while I was lost in that sin,
I did not go unseen.
 
He did not see my sins, just me,
The lost lamb He held dear.
When He called me, I turned to Him
With no more doubt or fear.
 
My Savior saw me, forgave me,
And called me by my name.
Now, all the mercy my soul needs,
Through Him, is mine to claim.
 
I may still be called a black sheep
By those who knew me then,
But He still sees me as He did
When He cleansed me of sin.
 
Romans 5:8-9
but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God.
