Song Background

Lord help!  Hear my cry!  He's running out of time… I know you hear my prayers… I know you can bring him home… Just like You told us in the scriptures, the Good Shepherd leaves 99 of his sheep to search for the 1 who is lost.  Lord, please go after him!

Luke 15:3-7

“(3) Then Jesus told them this parable: (4) ‘Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? (5) And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders (6) and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, “Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.” (7) I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.’"

 

 

 

 

Matter Of Time - Lyrics

Slow burn, tuggin’ at his soul

Slow turn, he’s rollin’ out of control

Memories, no matter how he tries… he can’t let them go

 

Time, time, he’s out of time

You left the ninety-nine, just to try to find, the one who wouldn’t come home

Time, time, the prodigals are out of time

When the Lord’s comin’ after your soul, it’s just a matter of time

 

Tears fall, as the prodigal runs

Heartbreak and broken lives, the damage is done

God can repair it all, He hears my cry… oh the healing’s begun

 

Time, time, he’s out of time

You left the ninety-nine, just to try and find, the one who wouldn’t come home

Time, time, the prodigals are out of time

When the Lord’s comin’ after your soul, it’s just a matter of time

 

I know that You’re coming soon, as the story unfolds…

I’ll stand here a thousand years, Oh death can’t lay claim on what You still hold!

 

Time, time, he’s out of time

You left the ninety-nine, just to try and find, the one who wouldn’t come home

Time, time, the prodigals are out of time

When the Lord’s comin’ after your soul, it’s just a matter of time
