The fire and wood are here,” Isaac said, “but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”

The boy told the shepherd: there’s a fearful storm

So I went out to the field to drive the flocks home

I counted every lamb into the keep

All except for one

That little black sheep

Ch:

Little black sheep, little black sheep

In the howling wind with no relief

In a cold, cold world nothin' sounds so sweet

As the voice of the shepherd to a little black sheep

Little black sheep, he ain’t nothin' but trouble

He’s not worth much and he’ll cost you double

Shepherd says he knows but he won’t sleep

He’s gonna go out and find

That little black sheep

Ch

Now the little black sheep was the wandering kind

But the shepherd brought him back every time

Mama says: child, when your pride starts to creep

You best remember we all just 

Little black sheep

Ch

Sentence Prayer

Almighty and most merciful Father, we have erred and strayed from Your ways like lost sheep. We have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts. We have offended against Your holy laws. We have left undone those things which we ought to have done; and we have done those things which we ought not to have done; and there is nothing good in us. O Lord, have mercy upon us, miserable offenders. Spare those, O God, who confess their faults. Restore those who are penitent; according to Your promises declared unto men in Christ Jesus our Lord. Grant that we may hereafter live a godly, righteous, and sober life; to the glory of His name. Amen
