The Ninety And Nine Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D]

[Verse 1]
[G]There were ninety
-nine that safely lay
In [D]the shelter of the [G]foe
But one was out on the hill to stray
Far [D]off from the gates of [G]gold
Away on the mountain wild and bare
Away from the tender
[D]shepherd's [G]care
Away from the tender [D]shep
[G]herd's [D]care[G]
[D][G]
Lord thou hast here thy ninety and nine,
are [D]they not enough for [G]thee?
But the shepherd made answer,
is this of mine,
[D]has wandered away from [G]me?
Although the road be rough and steep,
I go to the desert to [D]find my [G]sheep.
I go to the desert to [D]find
my [G]sheep.[D][G]
[D][G]
But all through the mountains thunder riven
[D]Up from the rocky [G]steep
There arose a glad cry
from the gates of heaven,
[D]Re joice, I've found my [G]sheep.
And the angels echoed
around the throne,
Rejoice, for the Lord brings
[D]back His [G]own.
Rejoice, for the Lord brings [D]back his [G]own.
