Jesus Had a Crippled Lamb

Jesus knew the little lambs, their fleece as black as coal.

And everywhere the little lambs went, their burden was sure to go.

Jesus came to see all of the little lambs

Big and small, young and old

They knew this was Jesus--the Good Shepherd

All the lambs had been told.

And least of all, was the crippled lamb

The lamb everyone knew so well

For he had just three little legs

And he never owned a bell.

As the crippled lamb limped closer to Jesus

The other lambs crowded him away

"The Good Shepherd has no time for him," they thought

"Go away, crippled lamb, go away!"

Sadly, the crippled lamb's tears began to flow

And slowly he began to leave

But then, a strong arm was felt

As he was held closely in Jesus' sleeves.

A big smile was on the Good Shepherd's face

As He hugged the little crippled lamb close

Jesus said, "Great is the one who gives to the least,

The one who gives to the least the most."

Now Jesus has a crippled lamb

With fleece as white as snow

And everywhere the Good Shepherd went

The little crippled lamb was sure to follow!

Follow Jesus, our Good Shepherd. He will never leave us. ....Mama says
