Lost Is Found

Lyrics:

Based on Luke 15

VERSE 1
There were a hundred sheep in fields of green
And their shepherd loved them so
But one got lost inside a deep ravine
And didn’t know how to get home
The shepherd sought the one who strayed
And wouldn’t rest ‘til he could say:

CHORUS
“What once was lost is found
Raise up a joyful sound
Come now and celebrate
This one is home and safe!
What once was lost is found
It’s time to jump around
Let happiness abound
For the lost is found!”

VERSE 2
There were ten precious coins a lady kept
Until one day there were nine
She ran around the house and carefully swept
To seek the one she couldn’t find
And when at last her coin appeared
She wanted everyone to hear:

VERSE 3
There was a boy who left his father’s home
But found himself with pigs and mud
He came back sure that he had been disowned
Though he was sad for what he’d done
But as in shame he hung his head
His father ran to him and said:

BRIDGE
Everyday it’s happening—
The lost are found
By their loving King and
As they turn from all their sin
Listen, you can hear the angels sing:
