If you've ever been there, you know.....



You broke through a thousand fences
Been rescued from a thousand ditches
You still swear you don't fit in
So you kick and scream and you're gone again
Wandering off into the devil's wind

But how's it going out there?
Acting like you ain't scared
How's that heart of stone?
Ain't so hard when you're alone
Crying tears you hope nobody sees
Guess the good news is He'll never leave you be
Jesus loves you black sheep (ooh, ooh, ooh)

You hate everything about you
You think we're better off without you
You wear your pain out on your sleeve
And you paint it on in rebel ink
But the alcohol and pills ain't fixed a thing

So, how's it going out there?
Acting like you ain't scared
And how's that heart of stone?
It ain't so hard when you're alone
Crying tears you hope nobody sees
Guess the good news is He'll never leave you be
Jesus loves you black sheep (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Jesus loves you black sheep (ooh, ooh, ooh)

Can't tell you when, I ain't no prophet
But there'll come a point in time when you can't stop it
The Good Shepherd's love smells like smoke
There ain't no hell so low
Where He won't let the hounds of Heaven go
Seek 'em, let the hounds of Heaven go

So how's it going out there?
Acting like you ain't scared
How's that heart of stone?
Ain't so hard when you're alone
Crying tears you hope nobody sees
Guess the good news is He'll never leave you be

And amazing grace is a pesky, pesky thing
But the good news is He'll never leave you be
Jesus loves you black sheep (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Jesus loves you black sheep (ooh, ooh, ooh)

"My Sweet Lord" by George Harrison. He sang:

My sweet Lord
My Lord
Mmm, my Lord
I really want to see you
Really want to be with you
Really want to see you, Lord
But it takes so long, my Lord

... not really. He died of cancer and he was only 58

R. Devan Jensen, an LDS educator (whom I know and consider a friend) wrote a hymn some thirty years ago.

It is so appropriate for Easter.

Long Ago, Within a Garden​

1. Long ago, within a garden,

Adam tasted fruit with Eve.

Death would be our awful burden—

Only One could set us free.
Alleluia, alleluia!

Jesus came to set us free!

Lamb of God and true Messiah,

Songs of joy we raise to Thee.
2. Jesus came to win a pardon,

Praying in Gethsemane—

Humbly suff’ring in that garden,

Crucified on Calvary.
Alleluia, alleluia!

Jesus came to set us free!

Lamb of God and true Messiah,

Songs of joy we raise to Thee.
3. In a tomb within a garden,

Women went where Jesus lay.

Angels told them, “He is risen!”

On that glorious Easter day.
Alleluia, alleluia!

Jesus came to set us free!

Lamb of God and true Messiah,

Songs of joy we raise to Thee.
4. Come to Christ and be forgiven.

Taste the fruit of Father’s tree,

Sweetest fruit of all His garden.

Dwell with Him eternally.
Alleluia, alleluia!

Jesus came to set us free!

Lamb of God and true Messiah,

Songs of joy we raise to Thee.
