Interpretation
The lyrics of the song "Visión Pastoral" by
Marcos Witt tell the story of a shepherd who loves his sheep and takes care of them. In the story, the shepherd had a hundred sheep, but when he counted them, one was missing. Sadly, he cried for the lost sheep. Nevertheless, he left the ninety-nine other sheep in the pen and went in search of the lost sheep.
He found it shivering and trembling, and healed its wounds. Then he carried it on his shoulders back to the pen. This story repeats itself over and over again, because there are still lost sheep wandering on the hills. They are broken and searching for light and God.
But there are still shepherds who go up the mountains to search for them. When they find them, they lead them back onto the right path, the path of truth and life, which is Jesus Christ.
The lyrics emphasize the love and compassion of the shepherd for his sheep and show that there is hope even for the lost. Jesus is portrayed as the good shepherd who seeks us, heals us, and brings us back.
The lyrics remind us that we are all lost and in need of a shepherd to guide us on the right path.
