MATTHEW – Lost Sheep of the House by Bro H

Verse 1 We were carried out in chains, driven from the land of birth By Assyria’s hand of judgment, to the cities of the north Lo Ammi in the nations, not My people for a while Yet the promise made to Abraham was never laid aside Verse 2 Through the passes of the mountains, through the Caucasus we came Past the rivers and the coastlands and isles, taking on other names Khumri, Saka, Scythian wanderers, moving westward through the years Into Celtic, Germanic, and kindred peoples, though we lost the truth along the way Chorus Lost sheep of the house of Israel Scattered far but known full well Marked by covenant, oath, and calling Though the world forgot our name From the isles and from the coastlands From the mountains to the sea The Shepherd comes to gather home The people of His decree Verse 3 You said kings would come from Sarah, many nations from our line A company of peoples rising by Your purpose and design Commonwealth and gates and blessings, spread abroad to every coast A people sown among the nations, yet still guarded by the Host Verse 4 In the wilderness of Europe, through the forests and the plains Through the tribes and through the kingdoms, through the wars and through the names Then across the seas to colonies, to the far and western lands Still the marks remained upon us by the work of Yahweh’s hand Verse 5 Then the Gospel found the scattered, calling dry bones back to hear I will give you a new heart now, I will put My Spirit near Those once far are brought back nigh, no more split in two One new man beneath the Shepherd, in the ancient covenant renewed Bridge From Lo Ammi to beloved From the far off to brought near From the broken sticks united To the voice the sheep still hear New heart, new walk, new spirit Law restored and written deep Not forgotten, not replaced Only regathered as His sheep Final Chorus Lost sheep of the house of Israel Scattered far but known full well Through the isles and through the nations Still the promise carried on Now the call goes through the coastlands Now the truth returns to light The Shepherd of the tribes has come To lead His people right
