Story behind the song
Though there are many Christians who came to faith early in life, there are many others who had to be sought out by the Lord. Isn't it comforting to know that the Good Shepherd counts this one lost sheep as worth the time and effort to come follow us through the wilderness and rescue us, and bring us into the fold? Whether the parable of the 'Lost Sheep' is about a person who was not a Christian, or about a Christian who had fallen away, is open for debate. But the sheep was a sheep in the care of the shepherd, just as the prodigal son was still a son, though he had wandered far from home. And there are many of us who have at some point in our lives (even after becoming a Christian) wandered into the wilderness seeking the greener grass over the hill.
Lyrics
Verse 1: From the moment that I was born My Momma called me ‘The Wanderer’. For I looked around in wonder At the world all around me, So peaceful and green, so bright and so clean. Would you tell me, please, I must know what’s over that ridge? Would you tell me, please, what’s across that stream, and over that bridge? I must KNOW! Chorus: For I’m the Wanderer! I’ll go wandering For all of my life! All of my life I’m the Wanderer! I’ll be Wandering, Don’t worry ‘bout me, I’ve got to be free! I must know, right now, what’s over that hill And past that horizon. I must know, I’m sure it is wonderful And rather surprising, Still I must know! Bridge: So I’m off on my own I’m finally alone Alone and free! But I’ve got to beware There are dangers out there Threatening me! Verse 2: Surrounded by enemies, wolves all around me, Broken and bleeding, my voice it is pleading! But the Good Shepherd heard my cry, He came with His staff, the wolves, they are leaving The Shepherd receiving! Though His heel was bruised, He carried me back home on His shoulders. A little bit sadder, a little bit wiser, a little bit older. But I will still, Chorus: Be the Wanderer! I’ll go wandering I’ll follow the shepherd, maybe together We’ll go wandering, past that mountain spring And over that hill, over that hill. His rod and staff, they will guide me Wherever we roam! And I’m sure this Good Shepherd will find the way home! The path that leads home! The path that leads home!
