"If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of the sheep gets lost, does he not leave the other ninety-nine on the hill, and go look for the lost sheep? I tell you the truth, he is happier over that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that were never lost. In the same way, your Father in Heaven does not want that any of these little ones should perish. - Matthew 18:12-14 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
I'm lost and broken All alone on this road The wheels keep turning but the feeling is gone When I fear I'm on my own You remind me I am not alone When You say I'd leave ninety-nine Leave them all behind To find you For you alone I'd leaving ninety-nine Leave them all behind To find you It's dark and lonely and the path is unclear Can't move my feet because I'm frozen with fear Then you say, My child, My child I am always here, I'm by your side I'd leave ninety-nine Leave them all behind To find you For you alone I'd leave ninety-nine Leave them all behind To find you You're never too far down I promise you'll be found I'll reach into the mud, the miry clay Persue you to the end Like a faithful friend Nothing in this world Can keep Me away |

Mark Stuart, Lead singer of Audio Adrenaline, had this to say about "99" :: This song steps away from the rest of the album's theme a little bit, but it's one of my favorite songs. It's a beautiful ballad about a lost Christian, or a lost person who has lost their reason to go on and can't figure it out anymore. God comes in and says 'I would leave 99, leave them all behind just to find you.' It's a reminder to Christians and non-Christians of how much God truly cares about us. |
