When You Found Me
I was swimming in sin like a bottle in the ocean going any which way the current took me
I was lost and turned out caught up in the so-called glamour of the streets
Having not been raised in the ghetto fabulous lifestyle I should have known better
But what was I truly being shielded from
I found out very quickly and very quickly I did
Mom warned me that the people in the streets would eat me up for breakfast lunch and dinner
However I ensured her because of the fact that she is my mother that when they spit me out they will spit me out whole
God had mercy on me by not giving me what I truly deserved
And protected me from the destruction and death
Now today I have so much wealth
Spiritually being fed all throughout my life
Ridding myself of envy, evil and strife
I once was lost but now I am found
Was blind now I see
No one felt what I did when Jesus Christ wrapped His loving arms around me
Finding me deep in my despair I did not know this but He was always there
When You found me life took on new meaning
New mercies new joy a renewed Spirit When You found me
Bending my knees bowing my head I rejoiced and said "Thank You"
From the bottom of heart
I know that I must do my part
Holding on to Your unchanging hand
I will lift up my arms and wave them out of unequivocal elation
I am saved from damnation
Rejoice in the LORD
And again I say rejoice
Because when I was lost You found me
O' taste and see that the LORD is good
He gave His life for me and He will do it again
My glad hands are clapping because I am saved from sin!
