I am the least, the last, the lost...

Inspired by the Gospel of Luke


I am the least
the last
the lost
Though I wear clothes of soft fabric and pretty hue
I am dressed in rags
Though I appear healthy
I am truly unwell
Though I seem happy
I am damaged

I am the least
the last
the lost
The least likely to suceed
The last person to believe
The lost sheep
Stranded
Alone

I am the least
the last
the lost
Saved by grace
Healed by His pain
Loved in His name

I am the least
the last
the lost
And I wouldn't have it any other way
