When You Found Me

When You Found Me. I was hiding in the dark. Ashamed, for I knew right from wrong.

When You Found Me. I held my head low. Wanting to flee, but you didn’t let me go.

When You Found Me. I was living in the world. Being pulled in all directions, I didn’t know where to go.

When You Found Me. Tears were running down my face, in shame for following the world.

When You Found Me. I wanted to belong; I couldn’t find a home.

When You Found Me. You said look up child, and follow me.

When You Found Me. You said, my child, I Love you.

When You Found Me. You showed me your hands and your side. In tears again, I said Father forgive me, please. I have sinned against you.

When you Found Me. I wanted you to be in me. As I walk and follow you.

When You Found Me. You said, WELCOME BACK my child, welcome home walking along with me.
