Verse 1:

E A

Sins of pleasure,

C#m B E

Drew me out alone

A

The world enticed me,

C#m B

With lusts for things I should not own-

Chorus:

E A

I was the one,

C#m B

The sheep that left the fold

E A

I was the one,

C#m B

I thought I'd like it on my own-

E F#m7

But what I found was fear,

A B

What I lost was hope,

G#m7 A

Jesus heard my cries,

C#m B A

And carried me on His shoulders-

F#m7 B

Back where I belong,

E A

I was the one,

C#m B

The sheep that left the fold,

E A

I was the one,

C#m B

I owe my all to Him

Verse 2:

E A

In the distance,

C#m B E

Grass looks greener still

A

But I remember,

C#m B

The pain and suff'ring that's concealed-

Ending:

E A

I was the one,

C#m B

The sheep that left the fold

E A

I was the one,

C#m B

I owe my all to Him

E

I was the one
