LUKE – He Came to Seek the Lost by Bro H

Verse 1 — The Birth (Luke 2, 1:68–79) There were shepherds in the night watch Keeping flocks beneath the sky And a voice broke through the silence “Do not fear, the King is nigh” Good news carried through the darkness To a people long displaced Light has come to those in shadow Mercy rising, promise traced Blessed be the God of Israel For He’s come to raise a horn In the house of David’s lineage Just as all the prophets warned Chorus He came to seek the lost again To call His scattered people home From every road they wandered down From every land they’ve roamed What was broken, torn, and driven out He gathers back to Him as one The Shepherd calls, the voice is known The Father claims His sons Verse 2 — Ministry to the Oppressed (Luke 4, 7, 8) He stood up and read Isaiah’s writing “Freedom now to those in chains Sight restored to blinded vision Loose the ones religion strained” Every town and every village Carried words the prophets spoke Not to random strangers, but His people Calling those who’d lost their hope They said “He’s mad,” “He has a devil” When He spoke what they denied But the poor received the message And the broken stood upright Verse 3 — The Lost and Scattered (Luke 15 + Identity Thread) There’s a shepherd counting sheepfolds Not content with ninety-nine There’s a woman searching corners For what once was fully mine There’s a son who spent his portion Far from home in foreign lands Took on names and ways of strangers Lost the mark upon his hands But the Father watched the distance Saw him coming from afar And ran, kissed and clothed him And said “You were lost, and now found you are” Chorus (slightly expanded) He came to seek the lost again To call His scattered people home From distant coasts and wilderness From places where they’ve grown What was promised to the fathers Now returning through the Son The Shepherd speaks, the voice is known And gathers them as one Verse 4 — Zacchaeus / Restoration (Luke 19) In the tree a man was waiting Just to see Him passing through But the Master stopped and called him “I’ve come here today for you” What was taken he now restored What was crooked he paid back straight “Salvation’s come unto this household” Not by chance, but covenant fate For the Son of Man has come now To restore what once was His Calling them out from among the nations The ones scattered in their midst Verse 5 — Cross and Fulfillment (Luke 23–24) They accused Him before rulers Said He claimed a throne and name Wrote it high above the timber Still the truth stood just the same Darkness fell across the whole land The Veil was torn from top to base What was written in the Law and Prophets Now fulfilled in time and place On the road their eyes were opened When He showed them every line From the writings to the psalms of David “All of this was always Mine” Bridge (Luke 24 focus) Beginning there in Jerusalem Where the promise of the Spirit still remained To the ones who knew the covenants Yet had scattered through the pain Repentance preached, remission given In His Name to those who hear What was hidden now uncovered What was distant now brought near Final Chorus He came to seek the lost again To call His scattered people home Once cast off, but not forsaken Names long forgotten, but still they belong What was spoken through the ages Now fulfilled in Christ the Son The Shepherd calls, the voice is known And gathers them as one
