lyrics

I WAS LOST

Intro C G F C

C
There was a son who said
G
Dad I want some of my
F C
Share in the wealth of your home
C
He packed all his bags squandered
G
All that he had did not
F G
Realize what he had just done
C G
He became poor ate the scraps on the floor
F C
No-one cared nor gave him anything
C
Then he used his head
G
“Here I am starving to death I will
F G
Go back to dad work for him”

(Chorus)
C
I was lost but now I am now found
C
I was blind but now I can now see
C G
I’ve returned to the arms of my God
G C
Oh my Father has welcomed me

C
This son went home
G
He’d been gone all so long when his
F C
Dad saw him he ran to him
C
He said”Oh dad I have
G
Sinned oh so bad but instead
F G
Dad just welcomed him
C G
The father said “My son is not dead he was
F C
Lost but now he is found!”
C
“Let’s celebrate this
G
Wonderful day and let
F G
Us make a joyful sound”

(Chorus)
C
I was lost but now I am now found
C
I was blind but now I can now see
C G
I’ve returned to the arms of my God
G C
Oh my Father has welcomed me

(Bridge)
F/G G
This is how my God responds now to
C/Em
Lost ones
F/G G
God responds by wrapping ‘round his arms
F Am G
Lovingly welcomes them home

(Repeat Chorus twice)
C
I was lost but now I am now found
C
I was blind but now I can now see
C G
I’ve returned to the arms of my God
G C
Oh my Father has welcomed me
