11694. Lost And Found

1 What were we when mercy found us?
Captives unto death and sin;
Clouds and darkness closed around us,
All was hopeless night within.

Refrain:
We were lost, but Jesus found us,
Burst the bonds of death that bound us,
Wrapped the robe of grace around us,
And the heirs of glory crowned us.

2 What are we since mercy found us?
Blameless, spotless in His sight;
Sons and saints His Word has crowned us,
Called to walk with Him in light. [Refrain]

3 What we shall be? That’s a story
Never uttered, or expressed;
We shall see Him in His glory,
And be folded to His breast. [Refrain]
