about

The process of writing this song involved a lot of self-realization. Knowing that, even though I grew up in the church, I am still lost, I'm still broken, I still do what I know I shouldn't and that I am not perfect. I recognize that we are all the one sheep that strays from the rest of Heaven. We are the spotted lamb, but no matter how spotted or blemished we are, God will always be chasing after us and love us.

lyrics

Here again I stand
In Your arms, above the noise
I am the spotted lamb
I've forgotten my own shepherd's voice

Here again I breathe
I've tasted what I'd lust to see
I am the spotted sheep
I drove the nails that made you bleed

But I'll come and see
What You've prepared for me

My great shepherd this I see
My wool is spotted, sick, and diseased
But now I see Your spotted hands
I see you shepherd the spotted lamb

Now I finally live
I'm the child, born again
I'm still the spotted lamb
And finally I have strength to stand

I've tasted and seen
How's He's accepted me

My great shepherd this I see
My wool is spotted, sick, and diseased
But now I see Your spotted hands
I see You shepherd the spotted lamb

My great shepherd this I know
My past is full of filthy woe
But now I see Your spotted hands
I see You love Your spotted lamb

My great shepherd this I know
My past is full of filthy woe
But now I see Your spotted hands
I see You love Your spotted lamb
