Lost and Found

In You, O Christ, I find myself all lost,
a forest I can’t find my way out of,
my path You have a million times crisscrossed,
You hang around to offer me Your love.

Like wagons on the prairie circle ‘round,
You circle ’round and guard me from the foe,
all lost in You, I find that I am found,
there’s nowhere else I’ve found I want to go.

Where I’ve found You, I’ve found myself there too,
You are the place where I was meant to be,
beyond myself, I’ve found I’m drowned in You,
You’re everywhere, there’s no place else for me.

Where You are, God, I tread on sacred ground,
the path to heaven bound, I’m lost and found.
