A Plea for Redemption and Divine Presence

Don Moen's song 'All We Like Sheep' is a heartfelt plea for redemption and a return to divine presence. The lyrics draw heavily from biblical imagery, particularly the metaphor of sheep going astray, which is a reference to Isaiah 53:6. This metaphor highlights human fallibility and the tendency to deviate from righteous paths. The song acknowledges that everyone has sinned and fallen short of God's glory, yet it expresses a deep yearning to witness and dwell in that glory once more.

The song's chorus is a prayer for mercy and grace, asking God to lead the faithful back to His holy place. This reflects a desire for spiritual healing and a restoration of a broken relationship with the divine. The lyrics also touch on themes of forgiveness and healing, both personal and communal, as the singer asks for the healing of the land, which can be interpreted as a call for societal and spiritual renewal.

The mention of Jesus as the sacrificial Lamb who was despised and rejected underscores the Christian belief in Jesus' atonement for humanity's sins. This sacrificial imagery is central to the song's message of redemption. The final lines of the song emphasize the cleansing power of Jesus' blood, inviting believers to draw near to God through worship and devotion. Overall, 'All We Like Sheep' is a moving expression of repentance, hope, and the longing for divine presence and healing.
