Текст пісні
There's joy that starts in heaven when a single heart is found
A quiet light that fills the house and turns it all around
A shepherd counts the mountains, ninety-nine in place
One small voice is missing, fading into space
He leaves the open pasture, night wind on his face
Till love lifts up the wanderer and carries him back safe
Oh, the world keeps turning like no one ever knew
But heaven shouts a hallelujah when one comes back to You
Lost and found Your mercy's running out to me
Over hills and rivers, through the thorns and on the sea
When I couldn't make a sound, Your kindness called me home
I was lost—and now I'm found
A woman lights a lantern, sweeping every side
Searching for the silver that somehow slipped to hide
She finds the gleam she's missing, and neighbors hear her sing
Come share my joy this evening for the coin I couldn't bring
Little things forgotten in the cracks along the floor
Your love will cross the darkness and open every door
Lost and found Your mercy's running out to me
Over hills and rivers, through the thorns and on the sea
When I couldn't make a sound, Your kindness called me home
I was lost—and now I'm found
I took my share of daylight, spent it on the night
Hungry in a far land with nothing left but pride
I turned my face to homeward, rehearsed a servant's plea
But You ran out to meet me, and put Your robe on me
A ring upon my finger, sandals on my feet
Begin the feast of mercy; my son is home with Me
And to the field-worn brother whose anger fills the room
All I have is with you won't you share this joy, this tune
Lost and found Your mercy's running out to me
Over hills and rivers, through the thorns and on the sea
When I couldn't make a sound, Your kindness called me home
I was lost and now I'm found
Hallelujah, I'm found
