Parable of the Lost Coin
Parable of the Lost Coin: Luke 15. 8-10
Is it under the table?
Is it under the chair ?
Could it be in that corner?
No it isn’t there!
Is it up on the rooftop?
Is it under the stairs?
Could it be in that cupboard?
I am in despair!
On no my little coin is lost, wherever can it be?
Is it under the curtain?
Is it there by the sink?
Could it be in the garden?
Sssh now let me think!
Brush the floor till I find it
Sweep the cobwebs away,
Sweep all day if I have to
Oh how my arms ache!
My precious silver coin is lost, wherever can it be?
Ah here it is in my pocket!
It’s been there all the time!
Rejoice with me, I’ve found it!
Found the coin that’s mine!
It’s the same up in heaven,
When a sinner repents.
See the angels in rapture
Their joy so evident.
Ooo Oo Ooo Ooo
Ooo Ooo Oooo repeat
