Lost and Found - Get Low
I once was lost
in the dark, with high cost
unable to see, keeping distance
unwilling to be, holding resistance
upside down and turned inside out
nothing but empty and full of doubt
fighting with myself, not ever to win
diving deeper and darker, driven to sin
Addicted to shame & overdosed on blame
it’s always the same like a moth to a flame
greed is need always need never to succeed
poison amaranth as my soul dies & I bleed
like a sacrificial lamb led to the slaughter
my senses stunned to the scent of water
old and wise is just a disguise of wisdom
a promise of God’s everlasting Kingdom
Faith is hope and love is grace you realize
evil is hate & fear is the cause to fantasize
into the night out of the dark once more
so much more than there was before
I am the way the truth & the light
born again, life after death
I once was lost now
I am found
amen
