"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.
