Is there "Lost Sheep" in Your Kingdom Hall?
?????????
She usually arrives on Sunday, and often comes quite late. 
Is she baptized or inactive? 
That's the question for debate. Few folks try to know her; some wonder and just stare. 
No one tries to dig down deep, to see who?s really there. 
In her purse is a funeral program, that is ragged around the ears.
?????????
It is yellow and all wrinkled; been soaked with many tears. 
She's looked at it many times, and knows the resurrection hope. 
But she still mourns her daughter; sometimes she just can't cope. 
Many people wonder, but no one ever makes a call. 
She's one of the lost sheep, sitting in your Kingdom Hall. 
?????????
Her uncle used to rape her, when she was just a child. 
Her mother did not believe her, and said she was just wild. 
Jehovah blessed her and now she has the Truth. 
But she still lives with all the scars, of a stolen youth. 
They say she's mean and moody, so no one bothers her to call. 
She's one of the lost sheep, sitting in the Kingdom Hall. 
?????????
She comes to all the meetings, service, even mingles with the friends. 
But once she goes back home, the heartache soon begins. 
She grew up in the Truth, and served Jehovah faithful all her life. 
And all she ever wanted, was to be a Christian wife. 
Now she's past the bloom of youth, and her dreams have not come true. 
?????????
She's worried, frustrated, tempted; and scared what she might do. 
You probably think she's strong, and she doesn't need a call. 
But she's one of the lost sheep, sitting in your Kingdom Hall. 
When we search from door to door, to bring just one sheep in, Don't forget about the ones who are already in the pen. 
These are all true stories, of people at the Hall. 
?????????
So take some time, look closely--and see who needs a call. 
We remember the youth, the sick, single parents and the old, But can we also try add. the others in our fold? 
Remember that Jehovah, doesn't want anyone to fall. 
So keep in mind, there just might be  some lost sheep inside your Hall.
