The Lost Coin: A Lesson in Redemption

“Or what woman having ten coins* and losing one would not light a lamp and sweep the house, searching carefully until she finds it? Luke 15: 8

Nothing is lost forever,
Where shines the light of God,
For He came to save the lost,
And free those downtrod.

Looking for the sinner,
The lost, broken, and lame,
The rich man and the poor man,
He treated just the same.

A shephard from the heavens,
Not one of his flock is lost,
For He protects and defends us,
Without regard to cost.

And with Word and deed unnumbered,
He swept our sinful souls clean,
Finding the coin of redemption,
Until His time unseen.

We must follow in his footsteps,
Following the lessons that he taught,
Being kind, forgiving and thankful,
Helping those that humanity forgot.
