        Notes: No chorus.

	(1)
	There's a gospel of today
   	that says believe and you'll be saved and then
   	you can go to heaven and see the pearly gates
   	and walk the golden streets  - words like these-
   	fail to treat all the vanity
   	that is hidden in me.

        (2)
	But the gospel is to me
   	the Triune God within humanity
   	as the Spirit reaching me to be in me 
   	the One reality  -love untold-
   	Gospel Thee never getting old,
   	story told eternally.

        (3)
	Left the ninety nine behind
   	You searched until the lost sheep You did find
   	laid me on Your shoulders there you bore me in
   	Your tender loving care -rejoicing -
   	You found me though a small lost sheep
   	You gave all to come find me.

	(4)
	Sweeping in my deepests parts
    	You lit a lamp and searched my inward heart,
    	sanctifying deep within You shined in me
    	exposed of my sins - repenting -
    	now I see Lord You're sprinkling me,
    	with the blood You shed for me.

	(5)
	Eagerly awaiting me 
    	that I the slightest turn to thee would make,
    	though my life had been a wreck
    	You run to me and fell upon my neck, -kissing me -
    	affectionately, killed the calf for me,
    	"let us eat and be marry".
