My friends all say that I am just a black sheep
And that I’m not wanted here below
They say that I’m not worthy to be near them
Please tell me God where can a black sheep go

I never had no one down here to love me
You see I’ve never met my mom and dad
They went away when I was just a small boy
Not many kind friends have I ever had

Could You make room in heaven for a black sheep
Could you love me and treat me as your own
Or will I still be treated like an outcast
A black sheep who must always play alone

The clothes may not be pretty that I’m wearing
But you know that I can’t help the way I look
I wonder if you’d search the holy pages
And tell me if my name is in Your book
