Lyrics

My grandma liked to paint the things of her heart
Once she even asked me to pose for her art
You may have seen the one where Jesus holds the lamb
Could it be,that I, posed as the Great I Am
Really
Hey look at me
The Black sheep of the family
Look close and see
The black sheep of the family
Mama said I was rotten
Cuz I never listened to her
I was always in trouble
I know my dad would concur
Just look at me
The black sheep of the family

But then I saw how I was nestled in His arms
And if I'd come unto Him
I'd be safe from harm
To those who follow him forgiveness He'll bestow
Though my sins be scarlet they'll be white as snow
For Even me
The black sheep of the family
From sin I can be free, the black sheep of family
I confess, I was rotten
And I didn't listen to Him at all
In Christ my past can be forgotten
If I'll heed His call
For even me, the black sheep of the family

Christ, as the perfect Lamb, came to show the way
For us he gave his life,if we'll just obey
And now that I've been rescued there's much to do
I need to look for others, that I can help rescue
Looking for thee
The black sheep of the family
You may have done something rotten
To which many may attest
In Christ your past can be forgotten
Come unto Him He'll give you rest
As He did for me
The Black Sheep of the family
The black sheep of the family
Yeah
The black sheep of the family
