Lost and Found

i wondered here and there.
i walked quickly to and fro.
yet, i dont seem to be getting anywere.
i cant see which way to go.

all around me there is only darkness.
there is not one single ray of light. 
inside i feel so completely helpless.
my heart longs for the end of this night.

when in the distance i see a flicker.
could it be only somewere in my dreams.
i stop to stare as my heart beat quickens.
i start to run towards the tiny lights gleam.

with each step i take the light grows brighter.
with each breath i breath i become stronger.
with each mile i run the burden is lighter.
a voice seems to say its just a little longer.

the light comes straight from the son.
he tells me he has searched for me all around.
and now my new life with Jesus has begun.
my heart swells with joy to no i was lost but now im found.
