"What man of you having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them,
doth not leave the ninety and nine, and go into the wilderness
after that which is lost, until he find it?" (Luke 15:4 JST)

"The irony of the Atonement is that it is infinite and eternal,
yet it is applied individually, one person at a time." (M. Russell Ballard)
    Lyrics:

    Every earthly sorrow; every mortal pain
    Every sinner's anguish; the bitterness of shame
    The weakness and the heartache that burden all mankind
    For these the Savior suffered, for these He bled and died
    And the lost and fallen multitudes of all the earth
    Are ransomed by His offering of love

    But if I alone had stumbled; if I alone had strayed
    If I alone had wandered from the straight and narrow way
    If I alone bore guilt for which my all could never atone
    He would have come for me
    For me alone

    Tears of all creation; every debt unpaid
    Warfare of the nations; every trust betrayed
    Every falsehood uttered; every truth denied
    For these the Savior suffered, for these He bled and died
    And the lost and fallen multitudes of all the earth
    Are ransomed by His offering of love

    But if I alone had stumbled; if I alone had strayed
    If I alone had wandered from the straight and narrow way
    If I alone bore guilt for which my all could never atone
    He would have come for me
    For me alone

    For love of all God's children Christ redeemed us from the fall
    His mercy without measure is sufficient for us all

    But if I alone had stumbled; if I alone had strayed
    If I alone had wandered from the straight and narrow way
    If I alone were foolish; if I alone were frail
    If I alone had faltered when the power of hell assailed
    If I alone bore guilt for which my all could never atone
    He would have come for me
    For me alone
