Seek and you will find (Matthew 7:7; NIV).
1. I found you, Lord,
And you forgave me;
Found you, Lord,
And you have saved me.
2. Found you Lord,
And you redeemed me;
Found you, Lord,
And you have healed me.
3. Found you, Lord,
And you have crowned me;
Found you, Lord,
And you surround me.
4. Found you Lord,
And you befriend me;
Found you, Lord,
And you defend me.
5. Found you, Lord,
And you restore me;
Found you, Lord,
And you adore me!
