All We Like Sheep
Don Moen's song "All We Like Sheep" is a worship piece based on Isaiah 53:6, reflecting on humanity's tendency to stray from God and the need for His mercy and grace. The lyrics acknowledge sin and the desire to return to God's presence, while also pointing to Jesus' sacrifice as the Lamb who took our sins and pain. The song calls for forgiveness, healing, and a restored relationship with God through Christ. It is a prayerful, repentant song that emphasizes God's holiness and the cleansing power of Jesus' blood.
All we like sheep have gone astray,
Each of us turning our own separate way.
We all have sinned and fallen short of Your glory,
But Your glory is what we desire to see,
And in Your presence is where we long to be.
O Lord, show us Your mercy and grace,
Take us to Your holy place.
Forgive us our sins and heal our land,
We long to live in Your presence once again.
Taking our sickness and taking our pain,
Jesus, the sacrifice, the Lamb has been slain.
He was despised, rejected by men. He took our sin.
Draw us near to You, Father, through Jesus, Your Son,
Let us worship before You, cleansed by Your blood.
