The Missing Have Been Found

by Greg Asimakoupoulos

Posted: May 12, 2013

A decade-long search has paid off…

The missing girls at last are found.
A ten-year search struck gold.
The love for those considered lost
burned strong though clues grew cold.

"We can't give up! We must persist.
There's just too much at stake."
And in their words you hear their hearts
that beat and nearly break.

When one so loved seems gone for good,
God models what to do.
He will not leave a stone unturned,
but searches till He's through.

And so the Shepherd left the fold*
in search of those deemed lost.
He would not quit but risked his life
no matter what the cost.

The Lord be praised for answered prayer.
The missing have come home.
But still the Shepherd seeks to find
those lost who hide alone.

* Luke 15:1-17
