You Found Me

[allstarboyscout]

You Found Me

 I'm ungrateful, rebellious, stubborn
Selfish, unkind and unloving
You hang at that tree while I'm deep in sin
Because that's the only way you can rescue me

You gave it as a gift that I use to despise
I have heard the message but cover it with pride
And when I finally received it and fully understand
Yes it's a gift but you paid it with a price

It's not that I think about You, or need You
It's not that I'm ashame of my sin but proud of it
It's not that I dilingently search for You
But You are the One who search and found me first

Carrying the cross and follow you is too much for me
Knowing that tribulation and persecution will come
But I let you turn this sinful man to a new creature
All because You found me, You took the first move

In Your eyes I'm unlovable and filthy
A smelly beggar, raising his fist at You
But You said You came to this world to seek the lost
Then I'm qualified, thats why You found me

And then I surrender it all to You
I feel I'm defeated as I lay down my rebellion
But with You my loss was turned into victory
Because for You I'm precious, You have found me
